Removing K and Bilas from the possibilities, which member of the Duke Basketball family would you choose to share beers with at the Washington Duke Inn?

Battier if I want to talk politics/fix the world, Laettner if I'm in a sports bar and Duke and UK are on at the same time, Wojo if I don't want to be the short guy, Newton if I'm in a mood for some weird stuff to go down, or Winslow just because he is just a different kind of cat altogether.

I'd like to hang out with Mickey and get her honest take on K, so long as K gives his blessing.

I don't drink but I would like to hang out with Marshall Plumlee. He has a way about him that makes you just want to get to know him OFC

I am do
Us old farts have to live by the motto some times the pleasure just aint worth the pain the next morning. lol
I am down to a 2-3 drink max. Anything more and my everything hurts. I'm sure when I'm OFC-worthy I'll have given it up. But for now, I'm a 2 glass ***.

This is so hard for me. I'd have to pick between these two with more thought involved: JJ or Jay Will
I had the pleasure of having candid moments with both of these guys. They are both good people, and both know how to kick back and have fun.

So many to choose from that it makes this question hard. I chugged a beer with Shane the night Duke won the national championship at the team hotel in 2001....so he's off the list. ;)

Ask me this question in two years and I might say Matt Jones. No single Duke player will have ever played on four different teams like Matt will when his time is up. I think it would be cool to talk with him about that.

If I had to pick just one it would probably Laettner. Imagine the stories he could share. A close second would be J.J. and Nolan. IMO, Nolan kind of encompasses everything it means to be a Duke "guy" through and through.

Nolan has had one of the best personalities I've seen out of a Duke player in years. His joy was infectious.

I would say the 3 Plumlee brothers. That would be likely a nice couple of hours, especially with Marshall. Imagine the ribbing they could dish to each other.
