Gameball thread:Duke vs NC state 2

- Start date
I went with J Rob. No he didn't lead us in scoring, rebounding or blocked shots but he led us in heart and enthusiasm. He led us like s captain should. He should be rewarded and recognized. Dad had to be proud of him tonight. I was. Hope Duke fans never forget J Rob. Every now and then we are blessed to kids like J Rob and Marshall Plumlee who know their roles and do not mind excepting them. This Saturday is senior day. We need a win for these guys who all proved they are of brotherhood. OFC
J Rob certainly is worthy, I went with ca$h because he made me get out of my seat.
Cash but J Rob might be the spark that gets this team over the hump. Cash is definitely our x factor. Goldwire looked very solid. Carey looked terrific, but I only saw the second half.
One of the toughest of the year to call, JRob and JGold both deserving, but those dunk from Cash got the crowd and the team rolling.
J Rob might end up being the glue that keeps this team together. I wouldn’t mind him being this years zoubek down the stretch.
I think the answer is jRob. So proud watching him. Playing with no nerves out there.
ppl say that K gave critics the finger today, but actually I believe it was j Goldwire who did. I have been very off on predictions before ( thought semi would be an all time duke player) but one I was right about was Jordan would be a good player from duke. Maybe Jordan should play less minutes. But we need him on the court more often than not. Love this guy.

We want Jordan to play less minutes because his ceiling is lower than others on our team. And when he’s off, it’s easy to explain. But if we are being honest with ourselves as a fanbase, go up and down our roster and find 4 other guys that play closer to their ceiling on a consistent basis. And the more he plays the more his ceiling creeps up slightly. Again,
I am in the camp that wishes that some other guys who were blessed with more natural talent stepped up. But JGold is balling this year and has earned every minute he has been given. Simply put, no one has forced him off the court yet.
Sooooo if I told you that our gameball poll for a March ACC game would have Justin Robinson and Jordon Goldwire on the list and J-Rob would be running away with it.......................
Potentially, I agree that we might be better if others were playing close to their ceiling than others. But usually Jordan shows up and plays very hard. For sure, he has his limitations. But dang I like watching him. His offense is certainly making improvements. Not dramatic but at least reasonable.
The great thing is that he never let's his offense dictate how hard he plays on D. If he has a bad turnover, or misses a shot badly, I don't ever worry about him getting back and getting after it on defense.
I went with Coach K because he showed emotion for the first time since I dont know when. Emotion like that is contagious and it was.
