Again I say, Tatum will get his money but I sure as hell wouldn't be the one to give it to him.

It's been a small subset but with Capel coaching I don't think we are getting any favors in the calls department. Coach K needs to be in there ear all game. Lots of 50/50 calls going the other way last two games.

The way our bigs are playing, I'd almost set up a 5 minute rotation for the first half and tell them whoever is busting their hump, you will get the majority of minutes in the second half.

It's very frustrating to see all this talent seem to go to waste. It's like certain players are ball hogs, others scared to touch the ball, some still chunking up 3s, no defense....I mean I'm not giving up and still have high hopes but dang, we aren't playing 21.

I like Capel and I think he is a fine coach but I am not sure he would be my first or second choice as K's successor.

Wow. Can't remember a Duke team with this much talent look as bad as this team has. For as frusterated as I've been with Grayson these past few weeks, this would be a 20 point game without him.

Jones could have gave that back to Kennard for an easy layup...then Tatum does his thing right after...

Not a smart basketball team...

I'm sorry, but Tatum is a black hole on offense. The ball goes in and doesn't come back out.

I really thought Tatum would be the ideal kid with all this talent. I'm not convinced he's a me guy. I just think with his size and ability to get his own shot. Those feel like good shots to him

Doesn't make any sense to have Frank Jackson on the bench so much for Jayson Tatum...

Frank Jackson > Jason Tatum

And it's not close...

This will go down as one of the most talented underperforming team K has ever coached and high school rankings after watching this team mean nothing unless you can back it up at the college level and not one of these players can except imo Javin, Grayson, Amile and Kennard. I don't want to hear no excuses about injuries that's enough about it.

I know it's all due to a plethora of injuries but this is the first time in a very long time I'm beginning to think chemistry may never happen this year. We just do not play as a team.

i know we are all frustrated but let's also remember these are all road games against talented teams. I am happy with our effort so far, just wish these kids got to see it on the scoreboard

Some stars can buy into the "team" thing and some can't. The 4 freshman in 2015 could. I just don't know if Tatum is capable to be honest. This is all about him.

Only a 7 point lead but seems like 25 at this point. I've watched the last 8 minutes after waking up suffering the flu the last few days and we have let a big touch the ball once offensively. And that was Bolden losing Allen's pass out of bounds.

It feels like we are down far more than 7. This would be a different game with Amile.

I agree with this a lot. Some of the fadeaway shots come from his thought process, but the drives you can tell, he always sees the basket unlike someone who is 6'3.

But he's gotta learn from film and he should be a better defender with all that length and talent.
