exactly YOU are the young bulls competition, you probably never even played passed high school. he's doing this against legit D1 talent and if you can't see the skillfulness of his handles, post moves, and ambidexterous post shots than reason all these run and jump centers never make it passed their rookie contracts.

McRoberts, Shavlik Randolph, Plumlees....all recent highly rated big men that didn't come close to their potential

shyt dude in the black outplayed him according to this clip...Only two of them have done well in the NBA, and all of them came in highly touted. He stagnated the development of Mason Plumlee
is this a joke? There's only a few programs who have had high successes at center positions (i.e. Georgetown) and Duke's "centers" were not as highly rated as other programs...not too mention most of them are white and lets be honest, white centers never really pan out once they get to the pros as they usually don't possess superior enough athletic ability to play in the post.
You say he stagnated Mason Plumlee...the guy who was an all American last year? He hasn't even played a single NBA game yet...
its interesting to me that we still haven't offered Josh Perkins if Calipari knew (as it appears everyone else does) that we have no chance with Tyus. Though I just heard that Mudiay and Myles Turner might be a package deal which would solidify us not getting those two. Which isn't a bad trade off imo.

Lol actually not brah. We be out at gyms where dudes that play d1 be hoopin n young 16 17 be gettin buckets on nikkas and have way better post moves.. fukk u mad for little nikka i just stated my opinion ..
All 3 of these guys are in the league...not every college player becomes an allstar! Geez you guys get your heads out your asses...I can name highly touted centers for all the top programs that didn't do shyt in the league. At least all 3 of these guys are still employed. McRoberts was never a great post player even in highschool...good handles and good athlete at the center position...Shavlik was overhyped and didn't possess the athletic ability to play in the post...Plumlees are rookies and 1st year player and Miles wasn't highly rated (if you count top 80 as highly rated) and was originally going to Stanford, we just happen to land him when Johnny Dawkins became coach...again just stating facts, he wasn't highly rated.
you're lying

Lol fukk would i need to lie for lol.. i could see if i said i was doing the shyt.. u a lame dude
dont they say him and some other dude might be a package deal?
yep...they are probably going to be a package deal to Duke.
Duke will probably win the championship the next 3 years....while UNC will renew their fall from grace that Doherty had them on, before Coach Williams stemmed the tide momentarily.
What? Power Forward and Center are the two positions white dudes actually play well at.
After his freshman season Mason was considered a top 10 pick, the more Coach K "developed" him the worse his stock dropped. He doesn't have a history of developing big men, you say they aren't highly touted yet the vast majority of them were All-Americans. His best big man is Brand, who stayed just 2 years before Coach K could turn him into the garbage man, defender/hustle rebounder that he seems to turn everyone else into.I get that you have to defend Duke's honor, but they straight up do not have a good history with the development of big men.
Nobody is mad, it's just absurd for you to say you know people in this kids age bracket with better post moves -
That video has better examples of his post moves, if you knew somebody 6'7" or taller that had a post game like that they'd be nationally ranked in the top 10.
Perkins has been injured and hasn't played all that well everytime Calipari has watched him, he's not getting an offer. Seems like UK is putting everything on Mudiay.
