I don't think K would say he's getting close if he's going sit for the season IMO.

Yea you don't do what he's doing in the warm up line and you don't say what Giles allegedly said "I thought so too" in response to a statement from one saying something to the effect of "I thought we were going to see a little bit of you tonight" in a game.
There's a lot of optimism here for Tatum but from what I saw in warmups last night, he is farther from ready than the other two. He didn't do anything in pregame except shoot "jump shots" in the early minutes. No layup line, no drills. He stood by Obi nearly the entire pregame.
The other two - they look ready. Moved well and looked like it was mostly full speed - at least full speed for a guy warming up that knows he isn't playing.
I read K's comments and don't want this to sound like I'm saying he's lying/misleading. It's just from what I saw last night, I would have said Giles and Bolden are close. That isn't what Tatum looked like.

I wouldn't read too much negative in the warm up discussion. Could be that he was told not to go too crazy.
lol Giles is the closest so saying he won't play is comical
Surely we should see at least one of them by the tennessee state game. That gives the team 9 days off and some time to practice together. One can hope anyway
I was thinking at least one of them will be ready for the Florida game at MSG.

“So you have to be careful just how long you practice,” Krzyzewski said. “We're getting closer. Jayson had a good workout today. He's close. We see Harry's warming up better. He just needs some contact. And Marques is moving along. We're getting there. We're getting there. But it will be a while before we, we just have to keep playing our butts off and keep trying to win like we have been.
“Every team's season's a little bit different. We just have to run our race the way we're running it,” Krzyzewski said. “Eventually, hopefully we get all those guys. We had visions of 'Damn, our practices are going to be hellacious. Five on five.' We haven't had that at all. It's crazy. It's frustrating. And it's frustrating. It's most frustrating to the kids that are hurt. They desperately want to play. A game like tonight, that's what they live for. These guys want to be in that game."

How come we aren't protecting Grayson's million dollar contract?
"we" are not having Allen practice. At all. He is also free to sit out if the pain is too much. However he is going to play because he is not in any danger of making the injury worse. The other 3 are in not in that category.
Grayson isn't practicing so he is receiving some protections. All injuries aren't made the same. You really think K would not care about Grayson's future?
The fact that I know nothing about the injuries situation has been reiterated to me. It looks like Tatum ?may? be the first one back and I would have bet money against that last night.
We'll see. I have my doubts. Regardless if he plays or not he's a top pick. I hope as a selfish fan he plays, but I'm not sure at this point if he will or not. I realllllllllly hope so though.
Don't buy that at all. If he is he is but ain't no way if waste a top pick on a guy that hasn't played in 2 seasons. And I think K is lying in that interview as well.. I've seen multiple things saying Giles has practiced so idk what to believe
Since all of our haters only give us conspiracies for Dukes success, I'm going to throw one out of my own.
The guys can play. But ESPN, CBS, and the NCAA asked K not to play them so the rest of the country thinks they have a shot this year. K agreed because he knows how well this team will be. So he gave them the month of November and will unleash the hounds for Christmas. And the country weeps.

I don't think K is lying. He said Harry hasn't practice with full contact, so he has practiced just not with contact (i.e. a scrimmage where he is getting bumped around in the post or getting knocked down after converting an and-1, etc.) Who knows how many of those practices he'll need before getting minutes in an actual game.
Back together as in maybeeeeeeeee this weekend vs Maine?? Or next Tuesday vs Florida???
(Sorry I'm not normally like this and I know you guys don't know either haha)
Wow! Didn't know that. Getting closer to seein this team at its full potential and it's getting exciting!
