It’s goes without saying we need Zion back..I continue to read how no one feels sorry for Duke given the talent they have. It cannot just be R.J. then cross our fingers that Cam shoots well and we get contributions from Jack, Alex, and Bolden who is playing great. It seems to me that if teams lock up on R.J. even when they do he can get his 20... teams can focus on Cam and let’s face it teams will take their chances on Tre, Jack, and Alex from the outside. This does not leave us with much... Cam needs to be a dog offensively... we will get our 10 plus from Bilden and Javin. I’m just a concerned Duke fan. Zion impacts the game on both ends. Lastly, who here believes we should rum more sets? I feel like it’s get R.J. the ball and see what happens.

I definitely feel without Zion we should run more sets. With him we really don't need to, as him just being on the court opens things up for everyone else. We definitely need to work to get Alex and Jack open 3's and even Cam to an extent. We also need to run the offense through the post with Bolden, as he has some really nice moves down there.

The open set is great when you have multiple players who can take their man off the dribble. Without Z we don't really have that. Cam proved against Wake he needs to pull up more. Perhaps Tre is our best chance to back up RJ. Tre got to the rim multiple times against WF.

Either way, DO NOT give up on this team!!! Just don't!

We need Cam to hit spot up threes and jump shots. He's very inconsistent. If he isn't hitting the spot up 3 he doesn't bring much else on the offensive end, imo. However, we benefit tremendously from his defense.
