Duke Basketball 2022-2023

I’m interested in seeing the changes Scheyer makes. Roster make up is weird though. Need Roach to keep improving.

 

[physicsfactor]

One thing has to change. Scheyer has to recognize the value of shooting. Next year’s team won’t have it, but surely he’ll start prioritizing it in recruiting.

Find whoever this years Manek is in the portal.

 

[physicsfactor]

Who will get the third assistant job? If it’s Wojo, we’re screwed. And as much as I love the guy, it doesn’t need to be Amile either. Bring in someone who will teach defense and rebounding.

Love smoked us with that three despite playing all 40 minutes. Mark got ungodly amounts of rest and missed two at the line

It's hard to say he will prioritize it in recruiting when he has had full control of the recruiting decisions and he's recruited only one shooter in the incoming class.

keels played badly at times this season but he never ran from the moment

checking play by play and it shows Puff Johnson making two clutch free throws. He couldn’t have taken more than 10 all season, and somehow Mark can’t nut up and make at least one in that situation?

Hey, don’t ruin this thread already.

we’ll see, I don’t think taking Theo was a Scheyer move. Shooting will probably be even worse next year though

 

[physicsfactor]

Next year will have to be a 2015 UK def and OReb style team if they want to have good success. If it weren’t Scheyer’s first team, I probably wouldn’t tune in for that.

I always love this thread!

A tradition unlike any other

I don't even know what he's talking about, but it's definitely not 2022-23 Duke Basketball

 

[DurhamSon]

Maybe Keels comes back, idk but right now the backcourt deficit is as wide as it’s been in a long time and will only get wider if Keels leaves

Here are the 2023 NCAA Tournament sites. Get accustomed to all of them, because a top seed is no longer guaranteed:

First Four	Dayton, Ohio	UD Arena	March 14 -15	University of Dayton
First/Second	Albany, N.Y.	MVP Arena	March 17 - 19	Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
First/Second	Birmingham, Ala.	Legacy Arena	March 16 - 18	Southeastern Conference
First/Second	Columbus, Ohio	Nationwide Arena	March 17 - 19	The Ohio State University
First/Second	Denver	Ball Arena	March 17 - 19	Mountain West Conference
First/Second	Des Moines, Iowa	Wells Fargo Arena	March 16 - 18	Drake University
First/Second	Greensboro, N.C.	Greensboro Coliseum	March 17 - 19	Atlantic Coast Conference
First/Second	Orlando, Fla.	Amway Center	March 16 - 18	University of Central Florida
First/Second	Sacramento, Calif.	Golden 1 Center	March 16 - 18	California State University, Sacramento
Midwest Regional	Kansas City, Mo.	T-Mobile Center	March 24 - 26	Big 12 Conference
West Regional	Las Vegas	T-Mobile Arena	March 23 - 25	University of Nevada, Las Vegas
South Regional	Louisville, Ky.	KFC YUM! Center	March 24 - 26	University of Louisville
East Regional	New York	Madison Square Garden	March 23 - 25	Big East Conference / St. John's University

Also, the NIT is moving its final four away from Madison Square Garden. Could be relevant!

I mean, Love's gone right? I know he's a pretty feast or famine prospect but someone will give him a look in the first round. His upside is insane.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Griffin was a top 5 prospect. Would anyone in the world take him over Love? Love is gone unless the entire world is blind or stupid.

 

[dub_seahawks]

Griffin moves like a 50 year old, but doesn't hit shots like a 50 year old at the Y

 

[DrKlahn]

I think people are underestimating how important the next few weeks are. We don't know if the new coach will be bad. We don't know who will be on the staff. We don't know who the players will be beyond 4-5 guys, and I guess Sav.

 

[bdotling]

Assuming Scheyer recruits well, I hope we focus on actual roster construction and sound defensive principles. I don’t disagree the need for OADs esp from an offensive perspective, but I don’t think K’s defense that is easily teachable to OADs.
We also need better point guards/game managers. The Jalen Brunson/Jones brothers types.

I feel like that would solve 80% of our issues that have plagued K in the back quarter of his career.
