NBA Draft Discussion

I remember Williams from some endless replay involving Matt Hurt. But I don't even remember what happened. A foul? A buzzer-beater?

 

[rome8180]

I honestly don't remember if we beat them or not.

I think he fouled Hurt on a key rebound

 

[dukebluedevils05]

Yeah, it was that big offensive rebound at the end of the game in Cameron.

3 2nd rounders = 3 opportunities for guys to overperform their draft spots

 

[childress22]

The past few years have taught me to not underestimate the Nuggets' talent evaluation. Here's what they did last night:

#20: Arizona big man Zeke Nnaji
#24: R.J. Hampton
signed Marcus Howard to a two-way deal after the draft

Maybe they won't all work out, but surely one of these guys will look like a steal for them in 2-3 years.

They're not doing that show of theirs anymore are they? Even taking out the heavy anti-duke bias, it was trash.

God it would just have me smiling for a month if someone beat the shit out of these two one day. Just completely wrecking them.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

I dislike them. But the two worst people in CBB media are Jeff Goodman and Rob Dauster. And they are doing a podcast together that I cannot imagine ever listening to.

 

[Inveigle]

You're never going to get a favorable Duke Basketball commentary in a podcast from any of those guys. It's like trying to get a history of Judaism by listening to books on tape of Mein Kampf.

 

[rome8180]

I listened to The Ringer's Draft Reaction pod and had to turn it off when they started talking about Duke. Ryen Russillo is worse than Bill Simmons about Duke. It was made doubly bad by the fact that they clearly hadn't watched any Duke last season.

 

[torontoduke]

Yeah, he criticized the offensive gameplan (fair enough) but did not offer any points to explain why it's been a problem. Typical move by a bullshit artist.

 

[rome8180]

It wasn't just that. He said something about Carey having a "bad year at Duke." He also said he had less perimeter skill than Jared Sullinger.

I hate both of them so much it hurts.

After the the SFA game, I got banned from Twitter for something I said to Dauster. In order to get the ban lifted, I had to delete my Tweet. I refused and just started using my other account.

I dont even get the joke about duke being the first team eliminated from tourney.

 

[rome8180]

I dont even get the joke about duke being the first team eliminated from tourney.

Me neither. I am guessing it's because we were about to play our ACC tournament game when everything was shut down? So technically ours was the first game to get canceled?

But the joke would work a lot better if the NCAA tournament was about to start, and we were the first team scheduled to play, and then it got shut down.

 

[deeyoukayeee]

I think you guys need to stop using the term 'joke'. Whatever he thought he was saying by stringing those words together was in no way, shape or form even remotely amusing, thus removing the label 'joke' from any applicability. It wasn't gibberish, as it was technically a complete sentence, but it was damn close, as it was almost completely nonsensical.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Unlike last season, Duke might have the most talented player on the court against UNC, but just barely.

 

[childress22]

I saw two mocks today -- Givony's and The Ringer's -- and they both had Jalen and D.J. as first-round picks, with Moore and Hurt being picked later.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Duke did not recruit Marcus Bagley, knowing the roster would be loaded at the wing, starting with ACC POY candidate Wendell Moore.
