Good lord. I know this season is still going on, but we are gonna be absolutely nasty next year.

Congrats to R.J. Lots of incoming players are going to be piling up some awards in the coming weeks.

Both RJ & Tre are their state's Gatorade Players of the Year too.

Cam & Zion didn't win it

Good lord. I know this season is still going on, but we are gonna be absolutely nasty next year.

I'm with ya!! There are going to be some really exciting moments next year. Hopefully Grayson gets his second ring this year and Bolden follows suit next year!!

I guess this means he's pretty good. OFC

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

He’s the 3rd Duke commit to be named Naismith High School Player of the Year. The other 2 players are Shane Battier and Austin Rivers.

 

[Jake1985]

RJ is going to have a field day. Teams can not double him when Cam, Tre and Zion are on the floor with him.

The thing I've read most recently about RJ is his ability to make good decisions and passes when on the ball AND he locks down on D.

 

[Showenuff]

Yea , Tre and RJ will play damn good defense.

 

[Jake1985]

Cam has all the tools to play great D too. He just needs to make it a priority and from all that is being said, he is.

Zion, could very well be a good defender too, but for him it will be more about having much better conditioning and patience/focus on staying together as a defending unit.

If Duke lands EJ, he has the ability too

 

[crazyduke3]

The level of talent we have coming is... absurd. Yeah they will be young but man... they have some SERIOUS talent. Tre Jones is going to have an absolute ball with all the options available to him.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

They will be good, but have their growing pains and threw under the bus a few times by a few people. I'm looking forward to seeing what the young bucks do together.

The starting unit of
Tre/RJ/Cam/Zion & Bolden (if he comes back)/Javin/Vrank or EJ (if he commits) * I think having a 5 play can play the role is a necessity.

The bench of
Alex
Jack
Jordan
All should find their roles too
