Coleman vs Green

My player comparison.
Q-Green - quicker quinn cook. He's not that athletic but he has "wiggle" with the ball in his hands. He is more polished and ready to play on a top level college team
Coleman - I'm going with Rajon Rondo, with a little bit better shot coming out of high school.
I see Green as more ready from day 1 to lead a team, but Coleman has more long term upside. Coleman is extremely athletic, great handle and has the skills. He just needs to learn how to use them. My concern would be if frank doesn't stay for next year. That would leave you with Coleman and Luke running the show. I don't think coleman is quite ready for that, but he definitely can contribute from day 1.

The best source for that is guru gary-7. He's the best in the business.OFC
I think I have a general idea of how his high-level analysis would go: if the recruit is going to UNC, he is a diamond in the rough who is way underrated and who is destined to become a star. If said recruit did not choose UNC, he has handlers, baggage, and is overrated as a player. Top notch stuff.
Like 9 months ago when I was holding out for Bolden, I'm betting on Duval if the staff / admissions think it's a good fit. I'm sure UK is getting in Knox's / Bamba's ear about not having a true PG to get them the ball at Duke next year (and no, I don't think Coleman is the answer as a freshman). Duval answers that.
I see what you are saying but if any recruit doesn't look at Duke and the type of offense they run and can't see that there is a ton of opportunity, even without a true pg? Well i think they might be looking to go somewhere else entirely. Duke allows all of its wing players to do their own thing. Create. Brandon Ingram, a wing player, was the #2 pick in last years NBA draft and Duke had a guy in DT that was anything but a true PG. (he was a shoot first guard that had limited passing ability IMO)
What are the chances Jackson is gone after this year? I just don't think it's very likely. If he has a Tyus Jones year he would go about the same place in the draft right? I think it is very unlikely he has a Tyus Jones kind of year....and I hope I'm wrong about that. I think it's highly likely Jackson is back next year. So I think any PG conversation has to include him.
If he averages 15-17ppg and has some highlights dunks in a Final Four run, he'll rightly jump. History says his stock won't exceed what it is after a decent freshman year, because the NBA loves youth and athleticism just as much as numbers and ability. I could argue Grayson's draft stock was highest after his big title game. It's silly to think Grayson was somehow better then, but those NBA GMs overvalue "potential" and hops.
I understand what you are saying. He is currently averaging 15.6 PPG with half our team injured against some cream puffs. Don't know that that number will hold.
Agree but frank is an nba player in the future everyone can see, tyus not as clear.
Good point. He certainly hasn't been his best either. If his volume goes up and the outside shot starts falling, it's possible.
