Five Point Play Podcast - Season 2
- Thread starter dukehokie
- Start date
Damn, you guys were worked up for this one, haha. Fun episode guys!
Finally got around to listening to this guys. Wow, heated as hell over the '11 team. I'm going to have to side with dukehokie on this one. That team lost it's luster once Kyrie was integrated back into the line up. I think K had no choice but to do that. Because it probably would've hurt his recruiting in the future with one and dones. Had Kyrie been healthy all year, that's a different story altogether. We probably only lose 1 or 2 games with a healthy group all season. But, trying to bring back a point guard who has missed 2/3 of the season when this team was riding high off of an impressive ACC tourney run just spelled doom for this group and Nolan especially.
I completely agree. However, coach was in a tough spot. If he had not played Kyrie and we had lost he would never hear the end of it.
Very true. That is one of the big what if years for sure.
I think we needed Kyrie to be a role player when he returned but that wasn't really his game. It just threw things off. It's a game of chemistry.
We are firing up another episode tonight. What topics do you want to hear your boys debate tonight??
Who plays the 5 haha. Does Baker play and if so how much. Can Coleman and Brakefield both be in the rotation. Is the freshman backcourt ready for prime time or are we expecting too much?
Well, I'd love to hear you guys talk about whether or not you think Hurt and Moore are back after Stanley's comments. I think at this point, assuming those two are back, what does the team look like next season as whole if that's our team? Also, the impact of Jalen Green's decision today on the future of college basketball.
Done and done! And this will surprise no one, I’ve got some strong opinions on both topics! Thank you gents!
Would expect nothing less! Excited to hear what you guys put together!
Any info you can give on:
1. Draft buzz regarding our guys.
2. What to expect from the incoming class.
3. Any updates on recruiting.
If at all possible.

Hurt is back officially guys! I think we can pen Moore in as well. So, it'll be fun to hear your takes on the team next season!
Great to see the insta post from Matthew! Figured that as much but always great to see it official. We will talk about this and much much more!
I would think the personnel is more or less set now, so it is time to discuss lineups! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the optimal group of five, how much time Hurt sees at the 5, etc.
Great topic and I’m guessing there will be some debate between us there.

Matt Hurt and Wendell Moore are back and we take a look at the prospects for the 2020-2021 squad; backcourt and frontcourt. We also talk about the absolutely loaded 2021 recruiting class and the news of the G-League offering big contracts for up and coming talent. Don't just go to any podcast, check out the 5 Point Play!

I agree that we'll probably see Roach, Goldwire, Moore, Hurt and Johnson start at the beginning of the season. Guys like Steward, Baker, Coleman,Tape, Brakefield and Williams will get their shots. I like that we can go big or small depending on the match up. O'Connell leaving means Steward will get minutes whether he is starting or not. He would have anyway; but with this line up he is the only guard off the bench.

So what i am really interested is Mark Williams. We have had so many different reports of who he will be. Would love others thoughts on this.
You guys have done it again. Another terrific podcast from you fellas!
Gonna check it out tomorrow. I need a Duke fix to get rid of the CBB withdrawal shakes I’ve had since March.
We will definitely start Williams. That's almost a done deal. Coach K will not play Hurt at the 5 and have no low post defender to guard the rim
Williams starting will happen at some point. I don’t know that it will be day 1. We need a post defender but depending on how he schedule lays out, we might not see a team with a legit post until ACC play, possibly ACC/Big 10 challenge. There aren’t many top notch bigs in the NCAA right now.
Williams will be the key to us cutting down the nets. If he can protect the rim at a high level he will give us a dimension we haven't had in a long time. We will always be able score. If he give us 3 blocks a game then we win the title no doubt

We actually took the best year for each guy. So it would be Senior Seth vs Soph Luke for example.
How about a Bagley vs Carter 1 on 1 matchup, and who you think makes the overall better big??? OFC
For me:
Tyus
Curry
Dunleavy
Tatum
Boozer
Great episode guys!

Great episode guys!
Thanks for listening! They were tough calls across the board.
Avery is definitely on my all underrated team. He did not play well in the finals so that is remembered. He also should have returned for his junior year.
Yeah it wasn’t his best game that’s for sure. As you noted, one thing we talked about At length - if we win that game, Will is probably revered and no one questions his decision to leave.
