    Joey Baker

    I think this is a win win for all involved. He gets to practice against future pros on the wing. That in itself will help him develop for the next level. I'm pretty certain he doesn't have delusions of grandeur about being a one and done. He seems like the type who wants to be the pro possible...

    Jay Wright to Knicks?

    I don't think Jay Wright would leave Nova. If I were the Knicks; Jason Kidd, Mark Jackson, or maybe even Fizdale would be my top candidates right now.

    2018 Nike Hoop Summit

    Tre is a legit old school floor general, who needs to tighten up his jumper. Reminds of Chris Paul, because he plays both ends of the floor. RJ is the alpha dog of this class. And it's not even close. He does everything so smooth and makes it look easy. From his drives, his passes, his decision...

    Is Carter staying???

    Just imagine Wendall playing the post with a point guard who understands angles and knows how to make contested post passes.

    Zion Williams Comparison

    He's more along the lines of a Clarence Weatherspoon. I like the Larry Johnson comparison, but it's kind of early to give him Grand ma ma status. I hope he has a Larry Johnson impact at Duke. But his athleticism is more along the lines of Weatherspoon or Julius Randle.

    Kansas gettin lit

    I told a friend of mine 2 months ago Nova was going to win it all. They just have less weaknesses than everyone else. But Frank Jackson or Luke Kennard would have stayed Duke would be cutting down the nets this year.

    Duke's Top Recruiting Class dishes on expectations for next year

    I think this team will be better than 2017, bc Tre is a legit pass first point guard, who plays cerebral. I know it was a McDonalds all star game, but his decision making and precision post passing hasn't been something seen at Duke in a while. He was making decisive passes over long distance...

    Frank Jackson

    I still think Duke should have went small and played man to man at the end of regulation. At least for the last 3 minutes, and switched everything.

    Next Assistant Coach

    I love the idea of J-Will as an assistant coach . It would be a home run hire for recruiting and point guard development. And add Christian as well.

    Bagley with only 9 shots and only 1 in last 14:20 of the game and OT

    Duke should have pulled one of the bigs out and went man to man for the last 4 minutes of regulation. Cause Kansas only chance was giving them open shots which was what Duke did.

    RJ Barrett has a message for Duke Nation

    Hopefully Duke returns to playing man to man next year with a backcourt of Tre Jones and Barrett. The wings will have pretty good length and nice strength for freshman next year. Delaurier, Bolden, and O'Connell will have to play big roles for as leadership and on court communication. Hopefully...

    RJ Barrett has a message for Duke Nation

    I love the kid's confidence. And Duke had a great season. But I don't see Duke winning a title unless you 1 or 2 players coming back. Preferably I take Trent Jr., but they is unlikely. Trevon is probably the only one that needs to come back, because there is no way he can make an NBA roster as...

    I understand they were playing well.....

    Its weird that they didn't make adjustments to get him the ball more, especially when they were constantly trying to double him. The 30 foot contested 3s from Grayson were not falling. I think he would have been more effective driving the ball the basket more often.
