    DUKE IN THE NBA

    Lively played great. Was nice hearing Richard Jefferson say so many nice things about him and how he needs to be starting. Did you find it odd they didn't have Lively defending Victor? They put Grant Williams on VW, who was giving up like 11 inches of height.

    DUKE IN THE NBA

    I would bet a decent chunk of money that when they do those "redrafting the 2023 NBA draft" in 5 years that Dariq will be a lottery pick. The dude went from an athletic slasher whose outside shot was a question mark to a 40%+ shooter from 3 when his injuries TEMPORARILY took away his athletic...

    DUKE IN THE NBA

    That's great for Amile and the Celts, but that's tough for us. He seemed to relate really well to the young kids and I know he spent HUGE amounts of time working one on one with Lively this past year. We need someone with Amile's wisdom about what it takes to be a successful big man and his...

    DUKE IN THE NBA

    So, how excited are we Duke in the NBA fans for Tre Jones to be throwing 12 lobs a game to Victor Wembanyama next year? Because I'm F'ing excited. San Antonio needs to trade for Tyus and have the double Jones backcourt. The defensive pressure would be trouble for other teams (yes, yes, I...

    Should They Stay Or Should They Go Now?

    Don't know where else to post this. Saw on yahoo sports they had a projection for the 2024 NBA draft - first round only. Fair number of Duke guys listed. Proctor at 6 Flip at 10 That would be huge steps up for both guys compared to where they were expected to go this year They have...

    Mackenzie Mgbako

    Privately I jokingly talked **** to my buddy about Mgbako being scared to fight for minutes against a 7 foot dorky white guy, but in reality these OAD kids get 35 games to show themselves with millions of dollars on the line. They want to - and they SHOULD want to - go somewhere they can really...

    DUKE IN THE NBA

    No triple doubles his whole career, then two in five games. BI is a force. I think people don't understand how well he can create his shot because everything he does looks like he's doing it at 60% speed, but he's a beast.

    Mitchell back

    I thought months ago that the best we could hope for from the freshman were Proctor and Mitchell returning. So happy that came true. If we now keep Flip even better, of course, but I really am so pleased to get Proctor and Mitchell back. With Ryan Young, that will be more Duke experience than...

    Whitehead declares for draft

    Dariq didn't ***** once, to my knowledge, about not starting. He was probably the best NBA prospect on this team and he didn't complain about being a sixth man. The couple of interviews I saw with him he seemed like a really good dude. Let's try to chill on the criticisms of him that are much...

    Whitehead declares for draft

    Good luck to him. I think he's going to do great in the NBA and he'll be a steal for some team that gets him in the 20s.

    Proctor returning

    That is some great f*cking news.

    DUKE IN THE NBA

    WHEN IS ZION RETURNING?!?! The Pels seem like they could be a really tough out in the playoffs if they're healthy. Ingram and Zion and McCollum can all SCORE and Jonas Valanciunas and Trey Murphy look like they're more than ready to be starters on a playoff team. Jonas is averaging 15 and...

    Should They Stay Or Should They Go Now?

    That's probably the right answer although I was a bit worried Mark Williams might go pro after showing out so well the last six or so games of his freshman year.

    DUKE IN THE NBA

    Banchero is currently a 50-1 favorite (-5000) to win the Rookie of the Year award. Wow. Second place is Jalen Williams who is a 20-1 underdog to win it (+2000). Banchero has been so damn good this year. While Banchero has way better numbers in points, rebounds, and assists, Williams...
