And…. Who cares? I used to pull for Duke players to do well in the NBA, but now? This is silly to even worry about who goes where. Cam Boozer was here for a few months. Great. Pick up your check and move on. Cool.

Yeah, I greatly appreciate the one season out of him at Duke, but I could care less what pro team any of them go to.

Anyone heard of possible news on who could be our next assistant coach?

It was a business transaction nothing more less. He used Duke. Duke used him.

It’s ok for just a fan to care KD

I’ve been wondering too. Do we have to have one? I did hear that we wanted to hold on to McCain so maybe he moves up? Idk

Quinn Cook on staff would be nice

I agree. To each his own. The NBA’s not my thing. Huge Lakers Fan back in the 80s and 00s. Last twenty years has lost me. Don’t like this jack up threes/ no defense basketball
Grant Hill/ Laettner/ Dawkins Billy King all those guys were like family members. These guys are here for a few months. Are they even enrolled in school? What classes are they taking? Does anyone even pretend that they care anymore?

I should add I don’t disagree with you on any of this.

I’ve not watched a complete NBA game since the 70s, but to answer the question of who cares… lots and lots of people is the answer.

I'm with most on here about the NBA. Used to be a huge fan and watched as many games as I could. Now I pretty much only watch if I have some type of bet on it

 

[Ghost of Dattier]

The NBA is the most player-friendly, player-controlled league of the major team sports in the U.S. I like that. I'm firmly on the side of labor rather than management.

One Crystal ball for Kager to Duke

Love it

Blackwell officially at Duke. Some can take a big sigh of relief.

 

[bullcitygamer]

Blackwell will fill the scoring void left by Evans

 

[JimboSlice00]

Evans was almost 3 inches taller and when he was hot, he was hot. But I do think Blackwell will be the better college player in terms of purely getting buckets. If he is as advertised, he raises our ceiling considerably. Have to imagine he will be our 1st or at worst, 2nd option.

The way Jon built this team is look to go inside out . Teams will zero in on Blackwell like they did Evans . However Duke’s ability to penetrate to the rim this up coming season is different then seasons past . I’d look for Duke to have at least three double digit scorers constantly.

I have really, really liked the superstar Duke has had the last couple seasons. Both were team oriented guys.

I think the team coming up will not have a front runner for Player of the Year, but that might make Duke very dangerous. I really think this will be a very balanced team. Or at least that’s what I’m hoping for.
