Player Matthew Hurt

[rome8180]

Yeah the clip is definitely a mixed bag but staying with his man that is attempting to drive and make a play in the beginning is at least encouraging.

I just liked the fundamentals of it. He sags off just a bit and forms a wall with his body. He's in position to both contest the shot and take away the drive.

Kind of pissed that WatchESPN has no replay of it. There's absolutely no reason for that.

agreed - i thought I hit record on it last night. Any standouts saw Nico/Cole balled out?

Wiseman looked like a real impact player on defense. Mobile and good timing. Wendell looked very good all around, but didn't stand out.

I Hurt myself today...

I enjoy watching this guy play. He's still my favorite prospect in the class, although a year ago, I was kind of imagining he'd get stronger and become more of a rim protector like Tyler Lydon. That ain't happening, but if he's basically Justin Jackson or Keith Van Horn, that's such a valuable piece on next year's squad. He should be a great big-to-big entry passer to Carey, a great guy to send to the middle of the paint to make plays against a zone (USA coach did this a lot last night), and, hopefully, our best and highest-volume three-point shooter.

Matthew Hurt can flat out shoot the rock we gotta find a way to get this kid

It appears Hurt is in the bag.

It’s on there. I couldn’t get to it on my iPad but it worked on my computer. However, I had to type it in using the search bar, it wasn’t included under the basketball replay tab.

Sweet. Thanks.

Watching finally. Nico Mannion is hideous. He's right to choose Arizona over Duke where no one will bother to watch him.

It's also fortunate for @DukeNukem05. Imagine the ginger backlash he would have been subjected to here every time he played badly. It would have been like @torontoduke and Barrett all over again.

Hurt has way more hustle than I expected. I'm a fan.

Why do we think Hurt is terrible on defense? Because he's white and because Topher said so? Because to my eye he's not bad at all.

And remember, I'm the first one who told you guys Bagley was going to be awful on that end.

Also, Isaiah Stewart is not very good. He posts up a lot and is terrible at it.

Wow, I didn't know Richard Hurt posted on this board.

The scouts/media have been raving about him in all of the practices/scrimmages leading up to the McD game and last Friday's game. I agree he had a bad game but I can't discount all of the hype he's been getting for weeks. I think his rebounding rates were incredible for AAU if I remember correctly. Carey's were not, which is why I had wanted Stewart over Carey. I think I feel more strongly about that if Hurt is going to play big minutes at the 4, which he should/probably will.

 

[rome8180]

Hurt seemed to be active on the boards and I even saw him boxing out. That's something I'm not used to seeing as a Duke fan.

Yeah, I am probably overreacting to a single game of basketball. I just feel like all he did is travel (called and uncalled), show an awful touch, badly miss some FTs, and get called for a goaltend.

The guy I would happily trade Carey for is Wiseman.

K will certainly break him of that awful habit.
