Random College Basketball Thoughts: 2017-18

Where do we go from here when Bagley comes back?

he's gotta be ready and willing to kick it out when he's doubled/tripled rather than forcing up a dumb shot. we were forcing it in and iso'ing him way too much (this falls completely on K's shoulders) and neither grayson nor tre could get in rhythm. Watch most of our ACC games, and grayson is just hanging in the corner w/ zero involvement. it's not a coincidence that now G is getting early open shots in rhythm and shooting it with more confidence rather than feeling he has to force shots b/c no one passes to him. he's got a great connection with gary on the perimeter that we need to continue. i just don't want marvin to come back and play for himself like he had been. marvin also has to do much better defensively, he had been atrocious in the PnR, but apparently K in tonite's postgame said that we'll be exclusively zone moving forward.

i wonder if knox is wishing he had come to duke now. he would actually look really good in our offense.

Interesting. We still turn the ball over too many times.

@Fitz What's your thoughts

Still no thoughts on Wigginton?

Probably going to the NIT but, can I get some thoughts on my boy freshmen Lindell Wigginton on Iowa State? Doesn't get much publicity, and he's a bit inconsistent currently, but the last two games he did his thing! They lost to Kansas on the road, but only by 5 and he put in that work with 27. Then they beat Baylor behind his 5 threes, 30pt performance. He played well earlier in the season before a December slide, but ya'll seem to know this NCAA shyt inside n out, so let me know your opinion on my boy!
