I sure hope Cam and Trae can Score because Barrett and Zion will not be able to score 38 of our 40 points every game. I was hoping to see Bolden assert himself in the block and he has not

My 1st Half Reactions:

RJ - the most NBA ready Duke freshman I have seen this early into a season.

Zion - he is doing a little bit of everything on the court.. this kid is a complete hybrid player.. it does look like he conserves his energy on some plays (not in a lazy way), and then turns on the gas when he needs to.

Javin - hustle player.. going to be a big piece of our puzzle this year.

Bolden - looks good.. but still not as aggressive as I want to see him by the time the season starts.

Goldwire - a really solid backup PG.

Not giving up on him yet but I am definitely expecting more from him this year

Javin works so hard I wish it was easier to score for him. Feels like he’s gotta give 125% to make a bucket. But his hustle is exciting to watch. Really rooting for him to have a breakout year

Jack White looking good, like he’s going to really contribute this year.

And I’m impressed with Baker’s size as a reclassified freshman.. he’s not a string bean.

Speaking of breakout year, I think Jack White might be that guy. He looks really relaxed and under control.

Zion’s fat and sucks - Kentucky and UNC fans
I'm a UK fan and I would have loved to have had him. On the plus side, we got Reid Travis and PJ Washington returned, which wouldn't have happened if we got Zion. Season tip off is gonna be fun guys!

RJ reminds me a bit of Tatum early in the year. You can see things he's capable of doing that just aren't quite working yet.

Zion is better than I expected. He also plays really hard, which is awesome.

It's going to be a load of individual talent after adding Tre Jones and Cam Reddish (and AOC). Nice to see Zion and RJ playing great team ball.

You really thought that about RJ? Zion looked fat and away the most ready. RJ took a good amount of bad shots and everything was one on one outside of the offense, struggled to score on the second rotating defender who wasn’t even that athletic. I still like his potential but I’ve seen a good amount of freshmen at Duke who looked more NBA ready this early.

We watched two different games if you thought Bolden looked good. He looked like he will come off the bench to back up Zion and JD (who looked way better than bolden)
