Joey was a five-star kid, it shouldn't be crazy to suggest he should battle for starter minutes. Personally, I love him off the bench as a shooter that brings energy, his stint of starting last year was a disaster, but he still could come off the bench and give us 25 minutes a game.

Defense is the key for more minutes, he's not gonna be an elite defender, but if he can not get beat, he will play more. I love the confidence he plays with and he's never shy to let it fly. The biggest thing going against Joey right now is our roster construction, we have a log-jam at the 3/4 positions. When teams zone us, Joey should get all the minutes he can handle.

25 minutes a game and 10ppg off the bench sounds right.

One of our only Upperclassman and deserves to get 25+ minutes a game.

Baker is a tremendous prospect. He was in a tough spot. Small private school champion in high school. Nothing to be gained by returning for a senior season in high school, but not ready to contribute as a freshman at Duke. He's ready to contribute now

He's a big question mark. One of those kids that could really help. Tons of energy, just has to find a way for the game to slightly slow down for him.

If we get consistent play out of Baker, Moore Hurt and Goldwire the rest will take care of itself.

25 minutes a game and 10ppg off the bench sounds right.

I will definitely take it!
