I like that Zion being out there means that RJ can focus on more than just scoring and can get a breather every now and then.

It’s not that easy. You should know that. Both Duke and UNC have clearly had the ‘best’ team in the past and not won. If we had the luxury of playing a best-of-five or seven, then yeah, I’d probably agree. In one game, too many stupid things can happen.

He's so good though that he covers everybody else's mistakes. The rest of the team isn't really playing well and yet you are up by about 15 points. With him it's almost like you are playing 6 on 5. Additionally I've never seen him have an off night. Literally never. K hit the jackpot with him. He is your insurance policy against bad games in the tournament. TBH, and it PAINS me to say this but after watching this the only way I think we have a chance to win tomorrow is by running our fast tempo with a deep lineup and hopefully tire him out.

Are you guys going to roast me for saying Cam is overrated?

I might. I get that he can blow hot and cold, but he's had some huge games this year. Games we'd have lost without him. He looks rusty and hes not having a great night. I don't think that makes him overrated.

I won't roast you, but I'll politely and respectfully disagree.

Everything you said is true. We have him, no one else does. We will find out tomorrow, barring a meltdown.

We need Reddish to be better..Zion has been excellent but Cam has been bad thus far..we will need him tomorrow we can’t win with just Zion and Barrett

He’s billed as a top 5 prospect, but what does he do at an elite level? I think he’s got loads of potential because of his length and smooth looking shot. Right now he’s pretty inconsistent.

I’m gonna be clinically depressed once it sets in that Zion won’t be in a Duke uniform next year
