Bad news:
1. Elite defense; legitimately stifling around the basket.
2. Elite offensive rebounding.
3. Proven national title ceiling; blowout wins over Kansas, Texas and Alabama.
Good news:
1. Starting PG with 2x the assist rate of anyone else on the roster was injured late in the season; absence not reflected much in season-long metrics.
2. Defensive metrics possibly artificially inflated by 26% 3pt allowed (#1 in the country), despite allowing tons of 3pt attempts (#221 in 3PA prevention).
3. Lots of fouling on defense (#264 in FTA prevention); Duke is a very good FT shooting team this season.
4. Offensive rebounding is the only good thing on offense.
