I think this is the best front-court Duke has ever had. Bagley and Carter Jr are both unselfish, high IQ post players that provide length, size and athleticism. Bagley is just a freak athlete, and Carter Jr is more polished with his back to the basket. They compliment each other very well. Both are 'modern' enough that they aren't chained to the post, and both have very high motors and seem to enjoy rebounding and playing defense.
DeLaurier is a defensive juggernaut. His offensive game needs work, but he's a great athlete that can defend 1-5. He's a huge advantage because he can basically switch everything and not miss a beat. Very good rebounder, very high motor. Bolden is big as shit and has great measurables. I think Bolden off of the bench is fine. He has potential, and based on what we saw in the exhibitions he's gotten better. I'm interested to see how that translates into the season (or if).
Bagley and Carter Jr are a tremendous combination, and both are so much better than Okafor, for example.
