Seriously, the NBA is littered with Duke players. I remember the days when there were 2, 3, or 4 teams with Duke guys that I would casually root for. Today you are hard pressed to find a team without a Duke player and most all of them are significant contributors. It’s awesome.
Pardon of someone may have pointed this out already. If Okafor can improve and get some minutes, it is actually possible and conceivable that New Orleans could have five Duke players on the floor at the same time:
G Jackson
G Redick
F Ingram
F Williamson
C Okafor
Their coach should do that at some point in the season. That would be really cool. I wonder how many times that has happened in the NBA... Five players on the floor at the same time on the same team all from the same university?
Seth Curry scored 18 points (3-for-3) from 3 in a 130-111 win over Sacramento. Harry Giles scored 11 points in the loss.
I cannot imagine its ever happened but boy would that be an achievement!
Tatum was called “the best player on the court” by Kemba Walker in the Celtics 141-133 OT win over the Clippers. He scored 39, 9 rebounds, and held Kawhi Leonard to 3-11, 1-7 while guarding him per ESPN.

Kemba wasn't wrong. Tatums' 4th quarter defense on Leonard was outstanding and the best thing he did all night. Kawhi struggles to get any space at all. I didn't read that article, but there is no bigger fan of Tatums' game than Kemba.
Zion Williamson scored a career-high 32 points in a 123-118 loss to OKC. JJ Redick has 24 for the Pelicans.
I just saw this as well. He can't seem to catch a break. SMH
