Looks like an extremely athletic prospect with a little range. Let's hope for the best.

Ehh looks kinda like a project to me... Hope this isn't a sign that things have headed south with Giles or any other of our top guys..

Looks like a kid for the future. Possibly 3 to 4 years player, who from all that I have read is an excellent student which the is the most important thing anyway.

Things haven't headed south with Giles. But DeLaurier is blowing up and is hardly raw.
Ok I'm glad u said this cuz I trust you haha. I'd never heard of him but that video didn't show me much which is why I thought he looked like a project. If K likes him that should be good enough

Javin is a three to four year player....a system guy. I just can't see a scenario where we land both Gabriel and Bolden but some think that's not as far-fetched as it seems. Maybe I'm wrong. I think this is Duke playing their hand. For one, nobody is scaring Giles off, and while I don't think he's locked up per se, I do think we're clearly the team to beat right now.

I like this kid - good bounce and a smart player. My only question is, did Roy turn him down yet? If not Duke has no shot.


That's what I was thinking. HF Coach Williams gets who he wants. I think we are all jumping to conclusions that the past couple of years we feel the UNC is not getting the top of the heap prospects because of the"scandal" when truth be known these guys were not HOF Coach Roy Williams type players and I am talking about players like Ingram and Smith. He knows what he's doing. BIG LUKE MAYE, Tony Bradley, Kenny Williams and Jalik "The Legacy" Felton will bring him his fourth and UNC's 8th NC;) OFC.

We won't see the benefit of DeLaurier until he is a senior at Duke. That will be the next season when we don't have to contend with Big Luke Maye, who will have graduated with 4 straight UNC titles. Coach K is just planning for the future.

Big Luke Maye and Tony "lil Duncan" Bradley on the floor at the same time...we're going to have to get used to playing for moral victories against UNC.

Hurley, nice post and thanks, this is the first I have seen him. Seems to have a nice first step and also appears to be decisive in his moves. He still has a lot of time to improve his game.
Go Duke!!

....I'm still scratching my head on the "looks like a project part". What part? Maybe he does looks shockingly unathlectic.

I don't think the video did him justice.. Based on simply that video he doesn't look special to me and I haven't took the time to research him at all. But based on that video I can show u hundreds that can do what he showed

What's the word from those that have watched him? Is it likely he would come?

Very high academic kid. Very high. He's a 3-4 year player in college as of now. Absolutely loves Duke for their academic reputation. It's too early to tell right now what his ultimate decision will be, but Duke has surged in a very short time.

Another video I found of this guy: will run the floor, get some boards, and swat some balls into the stands
