Looking at this years freshman class,just looking at their bodies.Only Carey and Moore looked like they could physically compete at the next level.Imo the previous classes came here with NBA level physiques
Oad
- Thread starter topps coach
- Start date
Cassius Stanley has an NBA body and athleticism, he's just not as ripped as Moore. Hurt looks like the typical versatile Euro big taken in the first round. These guys look the part, there just isn't that top 5 pick, highlight reel talent. Moore is probably the least talented of that group and, in my opinion, the most likely not to be OAD
Am not talking about their talent.One of the announcers said that Mathew could not bench 135 when he got here.It will take more than five months to improve that significantly.Again respectfully disagree about Stanley while athletic his body is no where nearly as developed as Barrett or Gary Trent was when they got here.Think they have obvious NBA level talent but will need time for their bodies to mature

We will get a lot of these guys back with our recruiting class coming in next year! We should be really good next year, but we still have a fun season ahead of us even though it will be a work in progress, it will still be fun!
There’s no sense in thinking most of these kids will be here longer than 1 season. Why? Expose. Duke is the king in exposure, and no other team, college or pro, can debate that. That may hurt is from time to time. But sadly, as fans we have to take the good with the bad.
Expect all to go, be surprised if they don’t.

Physique is pretty over-rated these days, IMO. I'm not entirely sure that KD and Curry could collectively bench bench a sack of 50 cheeseburgers but they can sure put the ball in the net.
