Player Marques Bolden

[sjsj2448]

My man Marques getting some preseason love! A breakout candidate!

They're projecting 11 ppg and 6 rpg! Of course, they are not considering Bagley's addition yet.

In any event, sign me up right now!

oh, that's right, he's a forward now.

Not like he was serviceable as whatever the fuck he was last year. Right, Pantone?

#FAKENEWS!

Someone explain why this is "Tupac back."

Bolden practicing one handed face up hook shots several feet from the rim. Sounds like an exciting new Duke offense.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Looks like his role is to give Carter someone to practice shot blocking on.

No opponent ever will probably try to put Marques in 1-5 screen defense situations every time down the floor.

If they do, by accident, I imagine it might work out something like this.

Considering what happened with Jeter, I just hope Marques improves enough this season to the point where he can get into the 1st round.

It appears the starters' defense is already in mid-season form.

I look at that insta and realize Goldwire can make a play and I'm stoked.

Marques Bolden, Duke: A victim of the numbers crunch last season in Durham, the former 5-star recruit averaged only 1.5 points and 1.1 rebounds in 6.5 minutes as a freshman. All of those numbers will drastically increase in 2017-18. A big man with a high ceiling, the 6-11 Bolden should make a significant jump as one of Duke’s primary big men in what will likely be a much tighter rotation for Mike Krzyzewski versus a year ago.

Bolden could potentially breakout and double his stats from last season.

Pump the brakes on your expectations!

 

[torontoduke]

Guess who reportedly had a sluggish 1st (open) practice?

 

[sjsj2448]

I think Marques can be a unique player for Duke in terms of affecting shots and defending for 15-20 minutes a game. Outside of that, I'm not expecting much.

It was DeLaurier, wasn’t it? Kid needs to get in shape.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Where are the haters now? Top 20 center in the nation, quite possibly THE best center in the world outside the NBA.

 

[deeyoukayeee]

If that isn't the ultimate example of the obsolescence of the center in modern basketball, I don't know what would be.

Could just go ahead and rename it the 1917 Buggy Whip award.
