Duke Basketball 2017-2018

Duval is no Matt Jones.

Important to have someone on the 2nd team that can beat our guards off the dribble. Simulates real game situations perfectly. K is GOAT.

I get the sarcasm of your post, but it's also actually true. If not for Goldwire, Duval's would spend his 5-on-5 practice time guarding... Alex O'Connell?

 

[DukeCrow]

Agree. Sarcastic but also having basis in truth. Definitely needed another guard for the practice squad, and at least Goldfarb is capable of making Duval improve his defense marginally, at worse.

Pitt transfer Cam Johnson has the potential to swing next year's national title race. He's been looking at Kentucky and Arizona, among other schools. He has two years of eligibility left but is eligible immediately.

If he were to transfer within the ACC, however, he'd have to sit out a year. Roy has been on him in recent days and, per IC, is trying to get the one year restriction removed (without which he's unlikely to stay within the conference).

This is basically the player we need to be a contender in my view- a good, experienced shooter that would start and allow Trent to come off the bench at the 3. I'm going to be really annoyed if Roy is able to get the restriction removed and he transfers there.

Edited to add- forgot to note that he had a 121 ORating with 41.5% from 3 last season.

Have we even reached out to him?

I have not read anything about Duke contacting Cam Johnson.

Doesn't get much bigger or brighter than Portland State.

People are going to love Duke's first round draw.

Well Coach K says expect a lot of Carter/Bolden, and Vrank and Javin will play a lot.

Let's hope so. Vrank we trust

This is to prepare us versus the 14 seed in the first round of the tournament. Coach K is wisely prepping against first round exits.

Just K's usual preseason troll job.

Just K's usual preseason troll job.

He left off "in practice" when referring to Vrank and Javin.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Or "Will play a lot of NBA 2k17"

Where did he say this?

 

[DrKlahn]

Butler-Gonzaga should be a good final.

 

[DukeCrow]

Bolden vs. Bamba
A dream come true

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Of course Duke is a projected 1-seed. Duke has elite talent and the GOAT coach to make all that talent come together. Lock it in.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Twin Towers, plus elitest of elite back court defense will get K his 6th chip this year.

So Dukies take on Indiana at Assembly during Archie's first year. Should be a slaughter, but Assembly sure is loud.
