Justise to enter NBA draft

Not a big surprise. Best of luck Justice!! It's been so fun watching you and proud to call you a Dukie. I think Tyus will declare within a couple days, yeah?
IMO I'm still undecided. I think he comes back and gives it another year. He could possibly go higher but I don't see him dropping at all. Kyrie was hurt and that didn't hurt him at all. He played like 11 games??? Tyus come back and hopefully we can secure another title.
Best of luck. While Justise is already quite a player, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he goes on to be an even better professional. I don't think it's a stretch to say he's arguably the most naturally gifted all-around athlete (in terms of speed, jumping, size, strength) to step foot on Duke's campus -- at least at the same stage of their careers (e.g., someone like Grant may have had the size and jumping, but nowhere near the power and strength as a freshman).

Congrats to Justise, absolute stud this season. Couldn't have asked for anything more. We don't win the Utah or Zags game without him, and we don't make it to the final 4. He was absolutely the glue of this team- he did everything. Without him, no chance we win it all. I expected a lot from him, but he blew my expectations away, especially in the last two months of the season. Arguably our best player. Thank you Justise! Stand up kid and will be an EXCELLENT pro.
Felt he really found his identity in the Virginia game. Cavaliers had no answer for his 1-man fast break.
What surprised me most as the season evolved was his Free Throw shooting. A major weakness of our teams going into the Tournament, Winslow and Ty were automatic from the stripe.
I will always remember this young man, so proud of him. He will enter the NBA as he played at Duke, "Fearless"!
Hate to see you go, but wish you the very best and will always follow you.
Go Duke!!

Thank you. Watchin' that guy take the rock coast to coast ( regardless of opponent ) was a work of dadgum art. Seriously. And NBA-wise , he may end up the best of the 3. Saw this vid tonight. Not a fast break but one of his better blocked shots. Forgot all about this one too. Kinda nonchalantly pins it...watch his expression.
"And Winslow says NO!"

Thank you Justise! We couldn't have done it without you. By far the most exciting guy to watch on the team.So many fast break dunks and huge blocks! Didn't take long for me to realize you were gonna be gone after this year. Can't wait to watch the great NBA career you will have!
Insanely talented, and tough. Can do it all...and does. One of my favorite players of all time...and he only played one season! I'm looking forward to following his NBA career. Best of luck, Justise!
And on a side note...I may never be able to correctly spell the word 'justice' again...when it doesn't pertain to Winslow.

The NBA will be fun to watch next year as Okafor, Winslow, Jones, and a healthy Parker try to make their mark.
