Wish Mitchell the best . If I’m Stewart and Pat I’m going hard to get the four spot .
Transfer Portal
- Thread starter The Only Blue
- Start date
I think Pat backs up the 5, but I guess he could play some minutes at the 4
Unc’s Trimble entering the portal, he must have not been happy not seeing the court in the 2nd half in the loss to Alabama.
Or RJ is coming back . I mentioned to a UNC fan at work that us RJ returned they lose Trimble .
RJ is a very good college player, but he is not an nba player. Ill be very surprised if RJ tries his luck at trying to get drafted in this year’s draft. He is too undersized to play an NBA 2 guard and he does not have the ball handling to play point guard in the nba. If he is ready to move onto the pros it will be the G League or Overseas for RJ.
Sad to see Mitchell go because upperclassmen are so important now. However he didn’t seem bought in this year. Another school will also give him more touches.
I hope he can fix his shot. Seems like an easy fix since almost shot off the heal of his hand.

Maybe he does start. At least at beginning of season. Flagg playing 3 and malauch at 4 sounds good.
Give me a Justise Winslow as a starter any day of the week! That guy is a bad *** player! If you can find the Notre Dame @ Duke game from 2015 look for a play fairly early in the first half when Winslow takes this guy off the bounce. He changes hands making this unreal move as he goes by ending in a great shot. Notre Dame was tough that year. They narrowly beat Duke by 4 at home and beat Duke by 10 in the ACC Tournament semi-final. But in that game I referenced, Duke absolutely stomped the crap out of them in Durham by 30!
I wish Mitchell and his Dad all the success in their new venture
Pat is 6’10 235 per Rivals & On3 and 24/7 & ESPN has him at 6’11 235. All sites list him as a center. Great height and I think he will add some weight at Duke. Should play the 5.

Pat is 6'11. He will be a great rotational big to give Khaman a rest. I assume Khaman is a one and done so Pat could hopefully be the starting 5 the following year next to Boozer.
I don't like two freshman as the bigs. Maybe we don't have choice? Hopefully we'll figure something out.
Lolol oh I’m pretty bad with my typing too but Chris gives us such low hanging fruitBecomes a mod then yapping at people for their grammar
JK
He better get in shape coming to college after limit play to see time . I swore I read somewhere his actual height is 6’9”.
Don’t really believe what is written . 24/7 is has him listed as a four star and rivals has him listed as a five . Either way he’ll play in the front court baring further injury .

Don't forget the lack of proofreading.
I wish he was going to stay, but I thought he was going to be a little more polished this season. I had very high hopes for him after last season. I hope he finds great success at his next school though. He could be a huge pick up for someone.
I am bummed about this one. Will suck if he balls out next year. Jon stuck with him through that shooting slump. Wish him well. Our frontcourt is now historically young.

I think he will benefit with new start and hope he has a good future
Don’t worry Chris. I don’t proof read anything lol that’s what the edit button is for .
I'm a former college professor. I've had many students hand in work without even using the grammar check feature in their software. And the spelling? Atrocious. I weep for the future.
Duke needs get big man from Indiana state, he would definitely make us elite.
All my post here on off my phone and I never spell check it lol so I second the edit button!
The hell with guaranteeing a starting position with anyone. Everything should be earned. I wouldn’t want a player that has to have guaranteed minutes before signing. Talk about destroying team unity. Just my two cents.
Agree with dukesince91, nothing in life is a guarantee. If players do not want to earn their playing time at Duke, they can take their entitled egos and go play for another program.
I totally agree with you, but in these times coaches need to stay employed. You have to change the appetite of the fanbase. How can you get good, solid players to buy into your philosophy and vision for your team? It's not easy. I would not want to hear the horror stories many of these coaches have to endure.
The only guarantee is you get an opportunity to compete for starting position
I am giving my man Chris a pass on the grammar and spelling because I am right there with him on this sentiment. Winslow was a beast and a key part of our 2015 NC. I absolutely loved when he would get a rebound or a steal and start the break. Man alive, anything was possible. He was hunting the basket, tactfully selecting his angle....and bang! Bucket!! Was fun to watch!!
