Jackson would've never started a game if Taytum and Giles were healthy starting the season and the stuff with Grayson didn't occur.
Would've been the 6th or possibly 7th man after Matt Jones. He's going to get a slap of cold water to his face if he goes pro. Just don't see what he's thinking and who's in his ear.
I know Duke has benefitted from some great OAD freshmen, but the OAD rule and overall OAD culture needs to changed. This is ridiculous.
And by the way, if a kid jumps to the league when he's clearly not ready and winds up riding the pine or out of basketball in a few years, I won't feel sorry for him in the least bit. You have to be smarter and more realistic about your outlook.

If you can test the waters and dry run the process and still come back, then why wouldn't you at least take a look? Sounds like a smart move to me.
I dont think Frank is ready. I think he needs to stay ANOTHER YEAR under the GOAT, who knows a lot about the pro game too. Frank could improve his handles, even at the 2, and be ready to take on the NBA next year...
OFC
I don't see it like that. He got injured around the same time Grayson got injured at the Kansas game. The only reason Grayson came off the bench was because he never was healthy not the tripping crap.
Jackson didn't have to start to get drafted. It's all on potential
In Jackson case. The only thing he truly needs to improve on is his passing and be a floor leader.
Shey, Frank had the rock at PG at the end of the year too. He may resent Duke's obsession to bring in a LEGIT pg, and be ready to move on. Its a huge gamble IMO, and he should not hire an agent. However we dont know the real atmosphere surrounding the team now, its difficult to get a read on it after such a tumultuous season!
OFC
Jackson is legit guys. He may have been the best athlete on the team. His potential may be greater than any of the other guys on team. As a fan I want him to stay because he will be hard for opposing teams to handle but NBA is off potential, if not Giles would have stayed
The OAD scenario did away w/loyalty to your school w/the lure of millions. However its a double edged sword as kids who go TOO SOON can get burned, and never make it in the bigs! As you said Mac, Frank could be doing this on the thoughts of a "crowded backcourt" next yr, we really dont know...
OFC
Frank may end up like a Russell Westbrook. I'm not saying he will be that good. I'm saying he might be that player that develop good enough pg skills once he make it there. Westbrook was just a good athlete and defender coming into the league. He never played point guard at UCLA. I don't believe Frank will leave though. Doesn't make business sense for him
Not saying Frank is but boy you have to love a kid that runs away from competition SMDH
Maybe another case of a player receiving bad advice from someone outside the program...an advisor hoping to cash in as the "agent" etc... He isnt ready by any stretch and would be better served to grow his game in college at least one more year.
I will be absolutely shocked if he leaves. As I said before, this article is click bait.
The thing about this unless I missed something I haven't seen or heard a thing from Frank, Frank's, dad, Frank's mom, Frank's brother, Frank's sister, Frank's uncle, Frank's cousin, Frank's high school coach, Frank's girlfriend or anything from Duke. All I ask is to see something. Like I said I may have missed the link. And just so everyone knows ACCsports .com is ran by David Glenn who also has The ACCSPORTS JOURNAL. Glenn is an unc alumni who I admit is pretty fair but since unc won the natty he has been like a kid at Christmas on his sports talk radio show out or Raleigh. OFC
I don't think loyalty has anything to do with it. They are loyal when they pick their schools. They go out and compete and at the end of the yr they do what is best for them and their families futures. I don't like the one and done rule either but that's the nbas choice. I know most of you didn't care to watch the 30 for 30 the other night but cal talked about Dejuan Wagner and how had he stayed in school after one yr and started having health issues in yr 2 like he did in the NBA he would of never became financially stable for his family. Exchange Wagner for Giles. Had he come back and gotten another knee injury and never got to live out his dream would you be able to live with that if you were coach k? Point being, you never know what can happen. I know franks family financial situation maybe completely different, but his dreams are the same. I still think he comes back as is testing the waters till he's ready
I haven't seen anything but that article. I do know he's on the 2018 draft boards.
Hart I think you misread my post I was more or less saying he was on draft boards prior to the season starting.
If, he goes to gage what he needs to work on to be elite I think he can look no further then annylist. The kid can score and defend, no doubt but lacks in court vision and making that good pass

Very good point Sky! Glenn is a Tar Heel through and through, has had very little coverage of their scandal, and his publication is the one behind the story.
I quit listening to him a long time ago due to his bias and supersized ego.
OFC
I never said he was. I made sure to say that in my post. I said he may develop his pg skills once he get in the league like Russell. Plus the athletic lead guard is what's big in the NBA now.
Floor you're on point! As Sky noted earlier UNC GRAD David Glenn is the architect of the rumor. and the egocentric talk show host would love to see the Devils go down a notch...
OFC
Bilas bends over backwards to appease UNC alum AND ESPN czar John Skipper. Glenn is just an out and out UNC homer who has done next to nothing w/the scandal...
OFC
I don't agree that there is the slightest shred of an iota of a whiff of a trace of objective truth to anything you just said.
Hey datt, I never said "Bilas hates us." I merely think hes harder on Duke than most schools....Besides, I was taking about Dave Glenn- why dont you ask Skysdad or Devil DJ about him? OFC
From another Duke thread reference the Jackson rumor today, per Dave Glenn bias:

I should have simply considered the source. I mean is there really anybody here you havent disagreed with?? Lol OFC
You know you should really be careful here. "Doesnt speak highly of me.?" I would be careful about being judgmental of other members.

Yes, parsing it as what it looks like on the surface to me and that I wouldn't want to leap to premature conclusions w/o offering you the chance to explain is pretty much the epitome of being careful about being judgmental.
Whatever you say datt, not going to argue w/you on Easter Sunday, much less get into presidential politics w/you, lol....
