    Off-season thoughts

    And hopefully we were able to offer him close to late first round money. Will the top college programs ever get to a point where they can outbid the NBA for not only first round picks but even top 5 picks? It may not matter since the college money comes with the stipulation that you have some...

    2024-2025 Duke Blue Devils

    If that's our starting lineup we'll have a very good chance of getting back to the Final Four. I'm kind of operating under an assumption that Proctor and Evans are going to enter the draft but so hoping they come back. If Henderson is ready that would be fantastic considering he has great size...

    Official game day thread- Duke vs Alabama elite eight

    At least this team knows they can play with and beat one of those other top SEC teams.

    ACC has been the best conference in last 3 NCAA Tournaments

    The ACC underperforms in November and December but overperforms in March. It's interesting how the early months of the season tend to dictate the narrative around strength of conferences and March tends to be forgotten. Whereas with individual teams it's the opposite.

    Official game day thread Duke vs NC St round 3 ELITE EIGHT ADDITION

    I guess if you look at just these last two years the freshmen didn't live up to expectations, although Jared was pretty great this year and Flip was pretty great last year. In the K years, at least one of our freshmen lived up to expectations every year except 21. Paolo, AJ, Vernon, Cassius...

    Unofficial game day thread- Duke vs UNCP

    Yes, the intensity dropped noticeably in the late first half and through the second. Built a massive lead and then let up against a top 10 DII team.

    Unofficial game day thread- Duke vs UNCP

    We've had a lot of big teams and elite-level shot blocking in recent years and it's usually been our guard play/inability to hit perimeter shots that have done us in. Will interior defense be a concern? probably. Would it be nice to have a rim protector? yes. But I'm not sure it will...

    Official Gameday Thread- Game 3 Duke vs Kansas

    Not sure who else on the team would have been better last night taking more of those shots away from Roach, it's not like our other players were lighting it up. Maybe Proctor? but he's had his struggles as well and my guess is that if he had 17 shots there would be posts about him being a bust...

    NBA lowering age to 18?

    Well I'm not so sure that it's a good thing we allow 18 year old kids into the military, we mostly do it because they are the members of society that typically don't know what direction they want to go in and are full of enough anger and stupidity. Our military academies, however, seem to be a...

    NBA lowering age to 18?

    But we already see every year more underclassmen declare and stay in the draft than there are picks in the draft. Of course thirty high schoolers won't be drafted, that doesn't mean they won't enter the draft just like how we have many college freshmen and sophomores every year that enter the...

    NBA lowering age to 18?

    It's been a while since being "league ready" mattered. We've seen guys who were not league ready leave after one or two years so I don't see why we shouldn't expect guys to jump out of high school even if they aren't league ready, whether from bad advice or an over-inflated sense of their skill...

    NBA lowering age to 18?

    I think it's going to be bad for college basketball. We're still going to have OAD's, plenty of DJ Steward's out there, but we won't get the benefit and excitement of the elite level guys like Paolo and Zion. It's not going to be like pre-2006, we'll see way more guys jumping out high school...

    2022 NBA Draft discussion

    I get people may be frustrated with the one and done thing but we've been to 3 Elite 8's out of the last 4 seasons (excluding 2020) with 1 Final Four and coming within a few points of 3 Final Fours. Not exactly the best but also pretty damn good. Having talent helps and Duke will be plenty...

    Proctor is 18. Same as any other incoming college freshman.

    Another wrinkle in the recruiting and future of CBB

    If they forego getting paid a salary by OTE then it seems no different than if they went to IMG or Oak Hill.
