Other than improving the free throw percentage I would like to see our transition defense improve by leaps and bounds. We gave up way too many lay ups last year when the opposing team on inbounds passes or defensive rebounds went the length of the court for layups and it wasn't just unc cheater that did it. Other teams picked up on it and used it. I don't know why we have a problem with it year after year unless it's because of youth and inexperience. OFC
What is one thing you would like to see this years team improve on.
- Thread starter skysdad
- Start date
It’s important that we rebound and be a decent 3 point shooting team. But I think the most important thing isn’t what we are good at, it’s when we are good at it.
I’m tired of being a better team in November than March. Or no different in March than November.

More balance OFFENSIVELY. I think lack of it last year led us down path of 2 vs 5 at times, as Opponents defensive focus really on Zion and RJ. More balance and weapons on offense, less our Devils are limited and court opens up more for Tre and co.

I really don't know much about the in coming freshmen,I feel that Jack,Javin and Alex have to take charge of this team,Jack has to regain his shot,Alex has to become more consistent and Javin needs to play within himself,he really does not need to do much on the offensive side,but must play great defense,rebound and stay out of foul trouble
We need to work on attendance. It's sad how few people go to these games. Syracuse gets way more people per game.
Dunking. Thought we didn't have any explosive athletes last year.
Hopefully this years crop of freshman can give us some athleticism.

Better coaching from K. I feel like last year he just lost a step or two, I mean a few posters here even knew better than him.....
Tell Duke to drop the restraining order so I can start sending my suggestions to K in the mail again. It’s not my fault my handwriting is bad so I have to cut letters out of magazines to create my letters. Geez...
Rebounding and blocking out...drives me nuts
Hahaha!! That’s awesome, ODD!! I’m saving that one!

Glad you like, Denver.
Thanks, FTB. Well, if you're going to save one, I think this one is a little better. I forgot to add a shadow to the knife on the earlier pic. It's not a perfect shadow (down and dirty quick) by any means, but I think it does look a little better.

They both look great! Saved! But, please delete it if I’m arrested for violating the restraining order.Glad you like, Denver.

Speaking of restraining orders, how’s Ipsy?They both look great! Saved! But, please delete it if I’m arrested for violating the restraining order.

One thing I would love to see on the Duke bench is a body language coach. It's been a weak part of Duke basketball ever since I can remember. It seems it's always something we are discusing on K-villes game day thread. Let's get pazazz going on that Duke bench. All smiles, high fives, hugs, jump up and downs, fist pimps, arms across shoulders while swaying back and forth. It can be done. We just need to get the right hire for that coaching position. OFC
Offensive movement, nothing is created when everyone stands still and stares at someone playing isolation, if Zion and RJ couldn't carry us to the promise land on ISO-ball, nobody on this roster is going to do it either. It's too predictable and regardless of talent, nobody can just do it all. There has to be creativity offensively and that requires moving without the ball, constantly.
It would also be great if we could drain the triples or avoid shooting a plethora of them if we aren't going to have hot hands.

This is true. I can't remember the last time Duke even had 10,000 people at a home game.
Winning the last game of the season.
