Luke has benefited the most...

...from injuries, egos, and normal basketball adjustments.

I gave this dude a hard time last year because everyone was so crazy about his shooting, however, it was subpar.

Well, this year, this kid is the POY. Bigtime! Great game Luke. Keep it coming.

Luke has simply been given an opportunity to show his talents. The kid is the real deal. He'll play for pay probably next season.

From the first time I saw this kid play I could see the basketball intelligence and the offensive skill set was obvious. I thought we would see this Kennard his Jr year but he decided to make the leap a year early.

He's a pretty special talent and an incredible, natural scorer. More and more, I'm thinking it less and less likely we see him at Duke next season.

If he goes into polka are you going to be worried?

lotto...1st round you kinda gotta go, but is he ready to defend in the nba?

but is he ready to defend in the nba?

Very few are. When you shoot like Luke, it doesn't matter as much.

But he's not projected in the lotto and barely 1st

 

[Gus Polinski]

He'll be a lock for somewhere in the 1st round. There is a dearth of pure shooters in basketball.

I just saw that Luke is one pace to be the first Duke player to average 20+ points a game and 50% fg since Christian Leattner in 1991-92.

He's gone after this year

He's gone after this year

I think he should go, but man this will suck for us.

Its incredible watching Luke perform. His confidence has gone thru the roof and his hard work this summer paid off. I have to think another reason he could be headed out (a contributing factor) are merely the myriad of distractions he's dealt with this year.

There was the split early on amongst some of the team he alluded to after the Elon game, and I am sure some other internal issues all of us are not privvy. Its been a tumultuous year, but he"s led us out of the woods. Thanks Luke, hope you stay-

OFC

right...."IF"

 

[dukiejay]

He might not be back, which will hurt....but I'm going to enjoy him while he's here.

Hopefully he doesn't look at Grayson's draft situation and realize it is probably in his best interest to leave after his sophomore year.
Shocking if he does leave, thought for sure he was a 3-4 year player and a 2nd round draft pick. If we win the title this year (assuming he will be a major reason why) I think he would definitely be in the 20's of the draft and would go.
