While not exactly Jay Williams and Chris Duhon in the offensive department, these two when on the court and pressing invoke a lot of issues for other teams. I'm really excited to see these two on the court at times and the pressure they force on other offenses.
Tre - Jordan tandem
- Thread starter crazyduke3
- Start date
I loved them in on D together this year. Jordan got a bad rap for not being much of an offensive threat, and heck at times Tre did too, and not just his poor 3 pt shooting. I would love to see both work on their offensive game over the next 8 months. I would love to see two guards who can get theirs taking it to the rim a handful of times a game and shoot modestly from three.
This past season with elite scorers (RJ and Zion) I suspect Tre was sometimes unsure of his role on offense. I want him to know his role and put up 12-13 points a game.

We're always wondering what our one and dones could do their second year. Now we get to find out, at the most important position. Tre will be a preseason All American and our leader.
If he plays like an All American then Duke may be a contender. A lot of unknowns yet, but the one part that we haven’t had since 2015, in my opinion, is a leader. I think everyone will respect Tre. That will be huge.
It is nice to know we have Jordan Goldwire for two more years. He is a hard worker and has improved tremendously. Also it seems he's a good teammate. Nice to have guys like him.
I think Grayson was a leader his senior season. We were one shot away from the Final Four with him as our leader, although I don't think we'd have gotten past Nova. Nova was on a tear.
But I think maybe your point was a little more the idea of having a leader at point guard, which, in college basketball is so, so huge. And I agree with that. Having Tre there next year has me really excited, that's for sure.
Thank you Tre!!
