Duke is a system that features bigs. I am not understanding this at all.

@Malta, Mason was rated that based off of perceived potential. The same perceived potential that guys like Anthony Randolph has. Some players are a poor fit for Duke's system like Melo, guys like McRoberts and others but Duke system gets a lot out of players. Look at Elton Brand per-injuries and Carlos Boozer.
Duke's system features bigs with good footwork and hands and high IQs. K ain't re-jiggering his motion offense because your big clumsy ass don't know how to move and just wanna sit down in the paint and raise a hand for the ball and NEVER kick it out to the team fulla shooters and slashers he's recruited.
You need skill, high BBIQ, and to be mobile to be a big in Coach K's system. I agree with that. Dumb players like Shavik and McRoberts never stood a chance.
I think he just meant, that the kid doesn't play like a bytch.

@ good footwork...LMAO Hanstravel huh? Guess he should study this solid footwork
And you really asking if Marvin, Wright, & the Wears improved at UNC? You stupid fukk
@#1 pick you really defending Duke bigs after yall took their best big since Boozer top 5
Can you name some great bigs that coach k ruined? all these players people named were not that talented begin with,its about the players talents not the coach
Calipari isnt a genius he simply gets the best players who woyud do just as good if they went to another big school,rick barnes is an awful coach yet had players do welli n the pros because they were talented,its about the player not the coach
People just use these dumb excuses to look for a reason to knock a coach and school they dont like lets be honest here

I cant name great big men that he's ruined because HE DOESN'T GET GREAT BIG MEN. Elite post players don't go to Duke because they already know whats up.
So its move the goal post time lol first he ruined talented players now he doesnt get them because players know he cant develop them lol
AS i said wake me up when ANY school produces a great big man anymore, the idea its Duke ruining these guys is quite comical the problem is these guys dotn exist any big with talent nowadays plays like a euro

I knew Shelden was a bust before we drafted him. Almost smashed my homie TV because of it. Just because some nikkas suck don't mean I think the school sucks. I am a Canes football fan. I would be telling anyone that Ed Reed is a beast and take him but Jacory Harris or Ken Dorsey??? Naw. Duke can develop bigs breh. I watch more than enough of them to know that.
Mason Plumlee was ranked 55 in his class to compare some guys ranked the same in other classes

if anyhtign Plumlee overacheived in college
If you want to use biased arguments and act liek its all on the coach then one could say the fact that coach K "developed" him enough to get picked in the first round is a testament to him

I said he doesn't get GREAT, the word YOU used. Sure he gets talented big men, I've named at least a handful of 5* big men that haven't done shyt under K.
I never said he had to produce great big men, this had nothing to do with the NBA.
Since Tyler Hansbrough handed Sheldon Williams a L on Senior Night in '06 tell me what post players has K had that were any kind of threat in college basketball? Mason and then who?
