Yeah a lot will happen between now and October but Kansas, Kentucky and especially the cheats have weak rosters. At least on paper but those three might not even be preseason top 25.

I just went to the Carolina board and my god. I’ve never read so much drivel in my life. Apparently 08, 12 and 16 UNC all would have run the Flagg led Duke team off the court. And after repeatedly saying last year’s Duke team was not talented, this years team is apparently the worst of the last 3. Most of the posters are likely kids but JC.

I thought they’d go for experience but I wonder if this is partly to keep CW happy. If they brought in a Graves, CW isn’t starting. With this guy, CW starts and JBB can come in either at the 4 or 5.

There are a lot of dumb unc and kentucky fans in the world
Agreed but will say KY fans have a healthy respect for Duke. Especially when K was coaching. They know what Duke is and that they’ve had their number. UNC fans don’t seem to realize where they are currently in the CBB landscape.

Duke is still watching what Graves is going to do but nothing wrong with bringing in a 6’11” shooter coming off the bench . Big Pat will be good however Duke has saw what limited depth in the front court can do . Don’t forget JBB will have to stay in college for two years . What’s not to say Duke doesn’t put an over large front court from the 3-5 on the court like Florida has done ?

Yes but according to most Malone is their savior . I asked a true Tarheel fan this the other day, “ If Malone and Joker were so close are you telling me the best player at his position at the time of his firing said he wanted him to stay, Denver wouldn’t keep him? “ yet they let him go and Joker still signed an extension? . He replied,” good point !

I’m all for the front court depth. I don’t trust Pat’s foot. My feeling is Jon plans to give Pat plenty of rest during the reg season to preserve him for the tourney. He’ll be able to do that with all this depth. I think Duke is again head and shoulders above everyone in the ACC so hopefully that allows Jon the chance to get some of these guys off their feet.

you think they’d still bring in Graves if they got this guy?

Deep down all these clowns from other fanbases know Duke is going to get one again sooner rather than later. They lost the last two years by fluke, unfathomable nonsense. It’s not like Jon is taking these great teams with superior talent and then get their doors blown off, like say 08 Carolina that got their **** pushed in by Kansas and 16 Carolina with fat Meeks in the post.

Kentucky fans have zero respect for Duke and are without a doubt the worst of the worst.

I don’t think they turn him away if he decided to come to Duke . Right now Duke has two Centers, and a PF with three hybrid stretch 4’s imo. The thing that has me wondering is we haven’t heard one thing out of Meyers. I wonder if he comes in with a purpose and Duke has more options at the 3/4 . Duke should be able to play really fast and keep the defense up . It’s going to be an interesting thing to watch headed into November.
