    Final Thoughts on Yesterday and This Season

    Didn’t help when in crunch time coach went to a 41% shooter instead of a 61% or 56%. Hmm sounds like this year’s crunch times with a 45% shooter instead of a 69% shooter.

    Tre

    Baker to me doesn’t have the talent or skill to be an impact player at Duke. I think he should and will be recruited over every year.

    Hard hitting

    I never said I was done with reddish. I said he should go pro. I firmly believe if he came back he would improve no doubt but his stock would fall even more as scouts realize he just doesn’t have basketball instincts or IQ. I would love to have him back.m, but o don’t see him turning into a...

    Final Thoughts on Yesterday and This Season

    Duke was closer to being out opening weekend than final four. Duke pushed the ball early in the season and looked unstoppable at times. Duke walked the ball up in the tourney, weird?

    Hard hitting

    He played so bad offensively he actually hurt duke being on the floor. It showed in his +\- numbers. You’d expect him to improve but he has to leave or risk another season like this year.

    Hard hitting

    Cam had most charges on the team followed by RJ then Zion. Cam had how many charges on fast breaks as well. The foul on Zion was zions being overly aggressive because of an awful lazy pass by RJ. My point is one player was overly aggressive in that moment and one was lazy.

    Hard hitting

    Agree, but I think this team with Rj and Zion and the defensive abilities of other players could have been good enough to not have a game go to the last minute ion the tournament. Not easy, no question. I just have no clue why we walked the ball up and allowed for lower scoring games. We...

    Hard hitting

    I'm not as good as you at this multiple quote thing so i'll just respond in order. Auburn and Texas Tech were somewhat close games, texas tech had the lead at half after we jumped on them to start the game. Heck tech had the lead with 6 minutes to go. We didn't whip either team at all. I...

    93-94 Sonics and 18-19 Duke

    This team was also a point blank tip in away from losing in the opening weekend when having possibly the best or one of the best players ever in college. In that game, only one player could keep the game close, and duke let that one player keep it close. This duke team had the ability to...

    So . . . Your Opinion on the One & Done?

    Need the best players, but also need to realize we have 13 scholarships and to not keep on wasting them on players you know will never be more than a practice player or at most a small role player. We also need to develop our "non one and dones" much much better. There are some fundamental...

    Hard hitting

    I disagree with this. YOU ABSOLUTELY CHANGE THINGS THROUGH WINNING!! It's what the best coaches do. If you have to wait for a loss or multiple losses to make changes even if the team needs them, that's on the coach. I feel K has gotten soft with the one and dones, and he doesn't get on them...

    Tre Cam K and player development

    Agree. Cam is extremely athletic, you watch warm ups in person and it is impressive. He is more athletic than RJ, but in a game, it's like he forgets to jump and that he is 6'8 or 6'9 with a long wingspan. He just puts his head down, gets out of control, loses balance, and nothing good...

    Tre Cam K and player development

    Development is not only individual but also team. Individually, AOC was still lost on Defense and couldn't dribble, goldwire was a massive liability on offense all season and why he only came in to press and change pace, bolden still can't make a shot if it's not a dunk or an easy layup, and...

    Final Thoughts on Yesterday and This Season

    Winston had 20 points, 10 assists, 4 steals, and 1 turnover. Our PG had 4 points, 5 assists, 0 steals, and 1 turnover. Yes, at times Tre played good D on him, a lot of other times he didn't, and yes Javin hedging has always been poor. Winston did have to take 23 shots, but he attacked attacked...

    Final Thoughts on Yesterday and This Season

    No doubt, k's recruiting has been magnificent. There's just been a lack of player development and improvements throughout the season for my liking. I hate UNC, but man does Roy's teams improve throughout the year. Roy isn't getting the same talent K is, so it's a different dynamic. Duke just...
