Remember the days when "Duke couldn't develop big guys"? Look at the results for Duke big men, old and new, above.

We are Big Man U!

I may be making this up, but I swear for a couple of years there Wojo was our big man coach. During that time period it waw hard to argue with the "duke can't develop big guys." But now? Not so much.

Wojo was our big man coach and Duke got blasted for that. I don't know if it made any difference but we missed on a lot of big guys in those days. Patrick Patterson is one who comes to mind.

Now, with Amile there, I have no fears that we'll have any trouble recruiting big men.

Wojo was Mason Plumlee's position coach at Duke. And Boozer's. And Jabari Parker's, who was having a pretty good NBA career until knee problems ended it. So, it's not like he didn't know what he was doing.

Kyrie Irving led Dallas with 33 points, eight assists and six rebounds in a 120-116 win over Utah.


Kyrie leads the NBA in fourth quarter points this season. That can't be easy, especially when he refuses to take the curvature of the earth into account when shooting 3s.
