Player Wendell Carter Jr.

[torontoduke]

Another monster boxscore.

Which one of you had referred to him as "The Unicorn" during his recruitment?

^ETA - it was @DurhamSon - well played

 

[DurhamSon]

He has been our best player in conference play. Maybe the most pleasing OAD to watch go to work besides Kyrie and Tyus, too. Battier-esque at times out there.

This thread has become an ongoing source of personal vindication. Almost makes up for my disastrous sportsbook losing streak.

I'm wearing the crown of 'shittiest gambler on D-F'

Heavy weighs the crown

 

[DurhamSon]

Remember when he used to not show up for entire first halves and foul a ton? It's like he's grown up two years in two months.

 

[rhfarmer]

Yeah, he's my favorite Duke OAD ever.

Kyrie could have been an absolute legend if he hadn't gotten hurt, but Carter does everything this team needs to win ball games with the lowest maintenance ever.

 

[rome8180]

Damn, farmer is filthy rich. Teach me your ways, farmdog.

 

[physicsfactor]

I’ll wait until the end of the season before I rank him among my other favorite Duke OADs. It’ll be tough for anyone to top Winslow on my list.

Carter fucks but Winslow FUCKS

 

[physicsfactor]

I mean, they all have cool black people hair.

 

[rhfarmer]

I do love Winslow, and there has never been a sexier Blue Devil, but Winslow took longer to hit his stride. Carter is taking the mantle from Bagley as alpha on this team.

Remember though at this time three years ago, Winslow had some weird back issue and was still shooting like shit and going heavy on the midrange BS. I can't remember when he snapped out of it and never looked back, but it was ugly for a little bit

 

[physicsfactor]

That’s why I said I’ll wait until the end of the season. But yes, at this point in the season, it’s no contest.

 

[bdotling]

Well clearly you guys are only looking at basketball results whereas Physics and I are looking at the pure sex that is Winslow

I believe it was bruised ribs. He was in pain every time he lifted his arm but toughed it out.

Remember in the tournament when Winslow would come out of nowhere to block someone’s shot and bark at them while doing it? *JIMP*

 

[rome8180]

At some point in the season Winslow was quoted as saying "I realized I can get to the rim any time I want." That was around when he got awesome.

I think the permanent switch to the 4 also helped, but the numbers may not bear me out on that.

I spend my eCash on karma. So far, so good.

 

[slswofford3]

I agree, its like he has had two years of growth in two months. Love watching him play. He will play in the NBA for a long, long time.
