When we examine the careers of similar earlier Duke players, the best ones would be Christian Laettner, Cherokee Parks, Mike Gminski, and Danny Ferry, all of whom were of similar size and came in highly recruited, (except G man, who snuck in under the radar a year early). Of those players, all of whom went on to be All-Americans, not one of them averaged more than 8 points a game as freshmen except Gminski, and he played for a bad team (without Tate Armstrong) with no bench.
