Duke Recruiting General Discussion

[LastHearth]

Because it’s easy to pick up fouls in the post and the last thing I want is for Flagg to pick up a couple of cheap fouls and sit half the game in a tournament game.

 

[aiw]

Wouldn't you hear more about centers if we lost every game with 6'5" players?

[Ladevil]

Damn. I was hopeful to have him play center and power forward next year.

 

[Dukenation12]

Maluach seems like a must get for C next season for Duke.

Pat coming off surgery, we have no I dea what Sean can give us, Reeves is always hurt and will probably transfer out.

Agreed. Plus centers foul, so Flagg can’t play there.

It’s the easiest position to fill in the portal for a program that only takes transfers from Ivy-type schools, and it’s the position where players generally improve the most with age and experience. If Scheyer desperately needs a low usage, high efficiency, foul absorber with good defense, he’ll have his pick of reasonable 22 year olds in the portal.

 

[Dukenation12]

For next season……
Guards:
Foster, McCain, Harris, Schutt

Wing/Forward:
Isaiah, TJ, Kon, Cooper, Sean

Centers:
Maluach, Pat, Reeves

Blake’s/Mitchell?

 

[torontoduke]

1 of Foster/McCain must return.

TJ must get stronger/add elements to his game, but he's a decent rotation guy

Unless he's a patient person, Stewart is gone.

Defence could be a problem

 

[rhfarmer]

Can't we finish sucking this year before we start sucking next year?

 

[Dukenation12]

Most every team in America would love to be sucking riding an 8 game win streak!

Next year should be fun too! If Duke can land Maluach, He and Cooper will be a force defensively.

One step closer to

PG Roach
SG Foster
SF Knueppel
PF Maluach
C Flagg

 

[torontoduke]

That would be savage

 

[rome8180]

One step closer to

PG Roach
SG Foster
SF Knueppel
PF Maluach
C Flagg

Since Proctor, Mitchell, Stewart, and Power all have no NBA interest, I expect them to be back and one of them start over K-Nipple.

 

[Pantone287]

PG Foster
SG Blakes
SF Stewart
PF Maluach
C Flagg

The lineup that all of Duke-Forum can agree upon.

 

[rhfarmer]

PG Flagg
SG Foster
SF Mitchell
PF Maluach
C Reeves

 

[Pantone287]

Meanwhile on TDD, John just quoted this to agree, and everyone following has flooded in with agreement:

Dukeblue82 said... (original post) I am very suspect of Mitchell at the 3. That lineup is crazy good defensively but on offense I think you are hamstringing Flagg.

You aren't. Flagg would be the 3 offensively and, if Mitchell isn't improved from 3, you can use him similarly to how we have used him of late.

This is re:

Mitchell
Flagg
Maluach

"He becomes the stretch 4 but it’s to slash and rebound and fill in the spot at the free throw line and then dish. Foster McCain and Flagg with a lob threat and super athlete is about as ideal as it gets"

 

[deepdarkblue]

I don't think I know what stretch 4 means.
