Player Kyle “Flip” Filipowski

Of course this board would want Flip to be a queen.

After his torrid week from outside (47 missed bunnies be damned), he's now shooting 41.2% on 3-pointers for the year. That's 0.8 percent behind Jared McCain.

If he’s even a true 37-40% kind of shooter now, it allows Mark on the court with him without any complaints from the peanut gallery at Duke-Forum. That’s a big deal.

Regardless of any numbers he puts up, I really just don’t enjoy his game.

 

[rome8180]

I'm ready for him to leave. Wild flailing bullshit.

Tbf, I also think this is on Scheyer. Quit fucking posting him up.

Inspired by those who have come before me, may I present to you all:

The Filipowski Theory

Can someone fish up the Okafor Theory post?

Here is the widely criticized post incorrectly panning the hero who would ultimately lead Duke to a national championship:

Okafor Theory?

Hopefully this board’s criticism of the Filipowski-centric offense will be similarly invalidated.

Rec-League Ryan was a +1 in 10 minutes last night. I'm in.

In having a UNC post-mortem with my IRL friends, someone mentioned that Flip is super size McRoberts. From the ISO ball, to the shitty body language when he doesn’t get calls - seemed like an apt comparison

 

[physicsfactor]

I guess kinda? McRoberts was a much better defender IMO whereas Flip is much more alpha offensively. I think McRoberts would have been just fine with never shooting other than an open dunk.

 

[deeyoukayeee]

Yeah, I think McRoberts would be a better fit on this team with his defense and passing. Though playing with Mitchell would be problematic.....

 

[deepdarkblue]

Every Flip Iso, Duke basketball dies a little bit more.

 

[rhfarmer]

McRoberts was a much better athlete if memory serves.

 

[deeyoukayeee]

I'd think so. Prior to getting hurt before the draft, dude could jump out of the gym and had good lateral movement for a big. McRoberts and Okafor are like photo-negatives of each other. If they could have switched eras both would have been far more effective/successful.

 

[rome8180]

Is he hurt? A couple things I'm noticing as I go back through this game a little more closely:

1) He has zero faith in his shot right now
2) Not getting back down the court very quickly on either offense or defense

ND did do a great job shutting down the short roll. We were trying to go to that a lot early. They were collapsing two on his drive really quickly. Were putting pressure on him before he could make a pass.

 

[childress22]

Did you see my post in the ND thread? I agree. I think he's been physically off for the last 4-6 games. No first step, less lift.

No. I just saw it. It was really apparent last night. It looks like it hurts him to run.
