Player Javin DeLaurier

The hated O'Connell

I wish he had gotten all of Jeter's minutes last year.


Also, I love we are living in a world where Javin is taking YOLO 3s. But hey he made one, which is more than I can say for Kyrie Irving recently.

 

[torontoduke]

I thought he was brilliant. All over the place on D. That block at the rim was play of the game

Game turned when K put him in. I honestly hope K keeps playing him off the bench. No other team can pull a 6th man out of a hat like Javin.

Not many teams can pull out a Marqueef off the bench, either.

Javin is going to be 2AD.

 

[ZackM]

What's going to happen to him?

 

[niveklaen]

NBA - he's basically K Faried

 

[DurhamSon]

Javin is going to be 2AD.

Yates is that you?

In all seriousness, I can't think of one thing Javin does at the NBA level at this point. Would be one of the worst decisions ever if he declared this year, much worse than Frank or Avery.

I think you think Faried is more of a coveted player than he actually is.

No, just channeling Axe :)

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

His line against MSU was like the beginnings of a Draymond Green, Josh Hart, Shane Battier type.

4 shots, 4 points, 3 offensive rebounds, 4 defensive rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks, 0 turnovers, 4 fouls

In line with his season rate stats so far. Goes and gets the ball, wherever it is, on defense and offense. Often too aggressively. Doesn’t know what to do once he has the ball, which could keep him in college for four years.

Like those other perfect college players, his willingness to do anything to help his team win should lead to him working hard enough to become a reliable 3pt and ft shooter. Looking forward to it.

 

[torontoduke]

He runs the floor so effectively and holds his own around the rim.

Respect.

 

[CMon85]

He's going to be an elite defender the next 2.5 years which is nice to know. If we play him at the 5 next year we'll be able to switch every position which will be insane.

The motor does it for me. Can't name another big that Duke has had with that motor. He will figure out where to apply it as the season goes.

Lance Thomas. Marshall Plumlee.

 

[slswofford3]

Love both of those guys and they had good motors, but not Javin motors (with speed) IMO.

 

[physicsfactor]

I love them, too, and I disagree. Singler had an incredible motor, too. He just had to play a lot more minutes and carry a much larger load offensively.
