Pretty much. I can see them running plays for Giles, but Bolden and CJ will probably be limited to garbage buckets.

Giles is capable of playing in the high post, right?

I wonder how Duke plans on create scoring opportunities for Giles, Bolden, and 2 MPG Jeter. Rebound put backs, isolation post play, and/or Allen dishes on drives?

Those two 5 stars will be looking for points.

AJ is more than capable if you dump it into him for a post-up. Bolden might be as well. Giles seems like more of a face-up big to me. I'd like to see him catch it at the elbow sometimes, especially when he has a slower, less mobile big on him. He has enough of a handle to simply blow by someone like that.

Last year Marshall camped out along the baseline a lot and waited for drop-off passes. That worked pretty well, and I imagine it will work better for bigs with better hands. Amile has already demonstrated proficiency at that. Giles seems like he'd be good at it too.

I do expect a lot of clean-up buckets for all of them. Giles should also run the floor well and get dunks in transition.

350 other D1 coaches would like to have K's problems.

I tweeted at JJ with some podcast guest suggestions a while back. No response. However, he's clearly thinking along the same lines as me. Stan Van Gundy on the most recent one. He also said he's trying to get Battier (another one I suggested). I'm lobbying for Kobe now.

Lobby for K.

 

[rome8180]

That was definitely another early suggestion.

So awesome, I would almost pay the 10k to do this. Almost.

Love it. Pretty Boy Ricky's foot hurts from kicking so much ass. Nice. Grayson with the Duke vs. All shirt, very appropriate. Might have to start hiding some cash from the wife and then claim a business trip next year.

Seth is there? I figure there'd be this series of other sporting events he might want to attend this week...

I think I saw Will Avery in there. Almost as unrecognizable as Brickey.

These are all pretty sweet http://www.blueplanetshots.com/201617/K-Academy-14/K-Academy-Day-4/

Is that McClure on Duhon?

 

[deepdarkblue]

JWill is ballin

 

[deepdarkblue]

LOL

 

[krsmith16]

Those guys look exactly like they do in my head when I envision those camps.

I think that's Abdelnaby on Duhon.

 

[rome8180]

Nah, it's McClure (based on the other photos I saw of him there).

 

[deepdarkblue]

I would be the guy hanging on to Zoubek.

 

[ChibCU]

Nah, it's McClure (based on the other photos I saw of him there).

Aren't blue jersey players the older, rich dudes? White is former Duke players.

Somehow K coaches the Olympics and old, fat, white guys.

I'm 100% doing this when I turn 35

I believe you're right.
