That back row is just intimidating. You have a ton of talent, athletisicism and depth. Let's use it to our advantage.

I get the sense from many that we're worried K's rotation will be limited to 7 guys or too guard oriented. I'm not too concerned, because I think our best end game lineup will be:
Tre,Gray,Gary, Tucker and Bags. I know that ignores some of our beef, but that lineup is so good on offense that it may not matter as long as all 5 guys rebound and defend.

Basketball players are tall.

I'm really looking forward to the season getting underway.

It'll be scary to throw athletes like Bagley, Wendell, and Javin at the 4, to compliment Bolden at the 5. It'll be just as scary to put athletes like Bagley and Wendell at the 5 in spells.

I can't wait to see the season unfold! At this point it sure seems we have matchup nightmares all over the court.

I do think by ACC play the rotation will be a tight 7 guys. That's how K rolls whether we like it or not. Maybe this is the year I am proven wrong, and boy, wouldn't I LOVE to see an 8 or 9 man rotation, but I just don't see it happening.

Go Duke!

All I will say at this time, folks, is that if this team can stay healthy, and they mesh as a unit, IT'S GONNA BE OK!!
Go Duke!

They have a chance to be a very special group for sure....now, if we were to be able to secure Barrett AND Williamson for next year, you will hear me screaming all the way from Ky!!!

Unless Tucker is playing pretty major minutes throughout games, which I don't see, then I certainly don't see him playing late in games.

I don't see him playing major minutes and certainly not late in games, however I can see him being part of the rotation due to his shooting. Having said that someone like Jack White could be further along at this time too. There is a lot of versatility on this squad. Hopefully we use it.

There's one coming up that I'm not going to answer. I'm curious to see who gets picked....

#2 Coach Nolan. Now # 15. A number that's not been used a lot but there's a guy that wore it that makes me proud he was a Dukie for just one thing he did. OFC

We shall see. I think it's all about versatility in the final 5 minutes.

A problem, if you want to call it one, is it looks like we have 7 guys that are expected to do well. I think Delaurier is in the 7.
I could be dead wrong, but I think you'll have Allen, Duval and Bagley last 5-7 minutes without much of a break in close games with the other 2 spots the remaining 3-5 guys that are contributing the most that day.

I don't totally disagree....I just don't see Tucker playing an awful lot this season. That makes it hard for me to see a scenario where all of a sudden he's called upon late in games. I could certainly be wrong, though.

^Totally agree with Jay
If a player is not playing minutes throughout the game, he sure as heck ain't playing during crunch time.

Oh yes good one but I was thinking of Quinn Buckner and getting into matt doherty for sticking his nose into Duke's bench. OFC

Quinn Buckner? He played for IU in the 70s. You mean Andre Buckner. Maybe this is the scene you were referencing? (though Buckner's not in it but was there).

When you referred to a #15 and one thing that person did, I thought you were referring to another 15 (who hasn't been mentioned): Gerald Henderson and that time his elbow was slammed by Hanstravel's nose on an attempted block. ;) #revisionisthistory ;)

Oh, and, you gotta love those stats Hans is putting up in the NBA these days! ;)

Sorry. Senior moment kicking in there and I knew it was Andre but I still typed in Quinn. Andre's brother played at Clemson I think. And what's McCants doing. Go get em Chris.




Side bar.
If we want to caption this photo maybe this. doherty. " I don't care what the rumor is Collins rashad and everyone else on this team including peppers goes to class every day and are all straight A students and every single one of them are going to the NBA and after that they all are going to get their doctorate degrees in AFAM. You don't even know what that means do you preppy boy and despite the rumors I'll coach here as long as I want to and because future hof coach roy williams doesn't give a %$@# about carolina. Now get out of my gym and take rat man with you. " Then it all broke loose. :DOFC
