Random College Basketball Thoughts: 2016-17

Playing the 4 was more out of necessity with Amile going down. At times he looked good but it was really obvious he wasn't ready physically to guard the interior, even on the college level. His length bailed him out quite a few times.

You could say the same thing about him on the offensive end too though, his length bailed him out a lot, and the lack of strength/weight hurt his post game.

It was good recognition even if it happened because of Amile getting hurt. He was struggling had at the 3. I remember Kuzma on Utah giving him a lot of trouble.

And when hasnt coach K moved his 3s to the 4? Even when he has sufficient 4 depth he does it (deng, singler, winslow, ingram and the list goes on)

He is too slow to guard the 3 effectively, and too weak to guard the 4. I'm not saying Duke doesn't ever develop players, they have been struggling recently though.

It's high key the reason they look good. Tatum is continuing the tradition.

That's the Issac I want to see scoring wise, hopefully this game get it started.

Big men develop slowly lmao. Take a look at carolina. It takes them years to develop their players. People act like duke is the only school where 1 and done players struggle. Ingram came in as a mid 1st round project and left Duke a top 3 pick. Its a FACT coach k is the best small forward coach in the country, and it isnt even close. So he can develop players. He just foesnt have patience enough to give big men enough time to develop early on.

Oh I'm definitely gonna need to see some receipts for this one

Don't feel like doing the research in terms of time stamps for nba mock draft websites before that draft, but just look at his high school ranking and his prospect profile before he began at Duke

Indeed, he did well against North Carolina with 17 pts, and 23 tonight..So I think he will continue to trend up as we hit a softer spot in our schedule the next 2 weeks before ACC tourney time then the big dance

7 gsmes? The fukk outta here. He didnt really take off until conference season. A 10 loss team bc on an injured amile that Still made the sweet 16. fukk outta here

he hung 24 on Indiana in like the 5th game of the season. Hell, he even had a game before that where K benched him and he still got 15. What's your definition of "taking off"?

We destroyed that indiana team as a whoke. Taking off=consistency. He didnt become a top 2 player for duke until conference season.
