With so much discussion about the top 9 players who presumably will get most of the minutes this year. I thought it would nice to show appreciation to the other guys.
Obi- Have to give him kudos for enduring the ride. As reported he suffers from bad knees which has limited his ability to play. Again this year, as he did when Ok was at Duke, his greatest contribution might be what he provides day in and day out in practice. How good for him would it be if the pain in his needs subsided just enough to allow him to grab a rebound here and there in games.
Vrank- Many think he redshirts this year, but it will be interesting to see what the Duke strength & conditioning program has done with him. Vrank has all the necessary skills and basketball IQ needed. He's another player that could really prepare the other guys in practices because of his size.
Justin- A true unknown. A big guy that can shoot the ball and defend some. He's a stretch 4 type player with a definite basketball bloodline. Having him push Tatum in practice will be key.
Javin- He is the player that has the most chance to get some minutes. He's falls in the bold of Lance and Amile by stature but he has a developing offensive game and his defense is already decent enough.
Jack- A throw back player. Very good rebounder, shooter and defender. He's a tough guy that has a really good work ethic. Not sure anyone knows what to expect from him and any contribution is welcome.
