Not surprised as well! Go be great, Flip!
Filipowski declares for NBA
- Thread starter Quavarius
- Start date
One of THEE most under appreciated college basketball players in a long time. He was the stabilizer between K and Scheyer (along with Roach).
Thank you Flip! No way we make the EE without you.
The kid caught a ton of grief for no reason. I'm going to miss him. Good luck, big fellow!
I'm also glad for 2 announcements in a day. The "give every guy their own day" was likely affecting our summer recruiting and I'm glad Jon saw this.
Flip was the most criticized all american I can remember at Duke in a long time. Wish the kid the best, and he will go down as one of my favorite players in recent memory.

We all knew those two were gone. But still, f*ck. Loved both of the guys, hope they light the NBA up.
I can see Flip being a Kelly Olynk/Dario Saric type player in the NBA. Go get them, Flip!
Now we need one of Roach/Foster back. And at least one of Power/Stewart.
Chris I believe Stewart announced on Instagram and/or Twitter he is returning for Year 2.
Great news! That's 2 confirmed returns.
Flip took a lot of flack for an all American who played out of position all year. Thanks for your service young man!! Go get after it in the bigs!!
Is that confirmed that Stewart is back? I missed that if true.

Good comparison. He just need to get the adult body.
I wish Flip well. A tremendous talent. We don’t make the tournament without him, and also unselfish on the court.
Let’s also stop the “he’s unfairly criticized” talk though. There were quite a few times where he played like a third stringer, and many times he looked uninterested.
Denying this just makes one look like a homer.

No surprise here, appreciate him coming back for another year. A really good player and wish him the best. Thanks Flip!!
First i wish him well...and sincerely mean that...but where is he going to play? He has no mid range, is poor from 3, cant post up and when he dribbles he turns it over, and he's no rim protector or great rebounder...I know he was playing out of position some say but truly what position is he? I think he needed one more year to define what he wanted to be, work on it and show the league that he has that ability...I just dont think he showed where his game fits the next level this year...time will tell
Tim Duncan looked "uninterested" every second he was on the court.
Apparently, NBA GMs think he has sufficient amount of ability.
Defensive rebounding metrics were outstanding both years he played.
It’s a weak draft . He can show teams next year while playing the pf what he can do . I don’t think it ever was in question he was gone after this season.
He was absolutely over criticized and unfairly critiqued. He looked anything but uninterested as the kid was an absolute warrior every game I watched him play.
Anyone that complains about Flip catching criticism needs to loosen up their goggles.
I’m not sure I’ve ever watched anyone as talented as Flip that could drive you crazy too.

Flip played hard and was unselfish. His stats improved from his Freshman to Sophomore year. He earned 2nd Team All American and All ACC this season, that doesn’t happen by accident.
The kid played hard for Duke both seasons. I really hope he has a successful career in the NBA. He has good court vision, played very good defense, can score inside and outside, and can rebound.
Good Luck Flip!

I'm Polska born. Also carry the Ski in my last name. So I loved his tenure.
Classic player in years past would put it all together Year3 to carry us to Banners.
Better supporting cast in Year1 but he was taught hard lessons. Returned as a superior player but not quite good enough to overcome our lack of size.
Ranks in the: very good tier of Dukie PFs
Josh McRoberts
Roshown McLeod
