He and Frank would make for a ferocious back court. Reminds me of:
If we get Duval
- Thread starter Guy Smiley
- Start date
I like that potential comparison. I hope they can defend like those two as well.
Imo it would be like having Kyrie and Williams ..wow then if Kennard and Grayson come back ..I mean do we start all guards?? Lol
I wouldn't mind always having 2 point guards always on the roster. Jackson is not a PG.
Dont matter never gunna buy into freshman hype
This, IMO, is one of the biggest needed gets for Duke in quite a while....
A sophmore Derryck Thornton would have really helped this team out alot. Looking at how a point guard has made UCLA look makes you miss Jay Williams, Wojo, Hurley, Tyus Jones, even Sean Dockery. Ofcourse Ball is on a whole different level then most college girls.
Here we go, anointing next year's team before they step on court together. If we get Duval, which I feel we will, we still have to see the team stay healthy and gel, and play some sort of defense. The ACC could be even deeper and tougher next year.
Does any OADs play defense? It's few and far between. Defense doesn't get you to the next level. It's about offensive numbers and showtime. You have to have Jrs and seniors to have defense. They are playing for their school.
Duval or not, Duke is good shape with Tre Jones and Darius Garland. The PG spot will be remedied soon, and for multiple years with one of those guys.
I've watched Darius Garland multiple times, he can play but does not strike me as 1 and done.
Yeah I didn't phrase that correctly and I didn't mean to insinuate that you did.
That's awkward. I guess Waters will have a chip on his shoulder.
That's just what Adam Zagoria said today but now Zagoria is reporting that Kansas isn't even recruiting Waters, so I wouldn't put much stock into that. My personal source tells me that Duke has the inside track for Duval but it isn't a done deal and that the last he has heard is that Duke had lost interest in Water's because his dad was crazy. After the Thornton issue, I can definitely see that being the true and Duke not wanting to put up with that baggage.
I just hope we get a few Scheyers, Nolans and Singlers each year to balance out the Jabaris. We need to start recruiting 20 guys to land 7 each year to keep up with the departures. I never thought we'd lose Tyus Jones after a year, but the NBA is just throwing millions at borderline guys. I don't blame these kids for taking the deals. You can rack up cash for potential and then just go back to school later if it doesn't work out. If I was a coach, I'd be bald and on meds. No wonder Roy stays in nanner puddin and silly jackets. It's his happy place.
