A much better shooter than Smith at the same stage, Sulaimon isn't as accomplished a driver as Smith but both are good passers. Sulaimon is more naturally wired to score than his predecessor."
    I wonder how his on-ball defense will stack up with Nolan. As impressive as Nolan's scoring exploits were his final two seasons at Duke, his apply constant pressure to the ball for close to 40 minutes a night while staying out of foul trouble was equally impressive and instrumental to the success of the 2009-2011 Duke teams. It was literally Nolan or no one guarding the ball in 2009-2010. At any rate, if Sulaimon has as successful a Duke career as Nolan Smith, Duke fans will be very, very happy campers!

    Rasheed positive about bringing in other top recruits

    Rasheed commented on twitter today about bringing Tony Parker and Rodney Purvis/Shabazz with him next year. Quote below:

    Thanks, Watzone. If it's going to get better, I'm excited. This first entry is short, but it's clear and fairly interesting--especially given it was written by a teenage boy.

    Of course the double entendre would only refer to medicinal substances properly obtained with a valid prescription.

    Its not like I'm not gonna say something similar anyway... however, I don't want to blatantly disrespect the young man.
    I realize this is a fan forum/discussion board and we are in the "off season" but as much as we complain about "the black falcon" down the road, perhaps we should temper or cease our desires/discussions for nicknames for our recruits...

    Just remember, that teenage boy was an attendee of the Duke TIP program several years ago.

    No. We all agree that it's ok for us to give players nicknames. Just not ok for them to give nicknames to themselves.

    Each member of this board could proffer 100 suggestions and STILL we could not come up with a proposal as lame or derivative as "The Black Falcon."

    HB deserves every lick of criticism for mugging that moniker.

    My point was in no way meant to construe a defense of that nickname (Shoot, I actually prefer The Black Pigeon that, IIRC, was originated by moonpie.) that I likewise despise, along with his theatrics recounted (discounted?) in the SI/Austin thread. It was merely intended as a caution to our fanbase/readers about appearances of hypocritical behavior with this particular issue.

    Here is a little write up (bottom of the page) Rasheed was one of the best defenders at the Deron Williams camp.

    Right now that link leads to a front page with Julius Randle. I'd take him too.

    It's a good thing he's not interested in money for nothing. He would have ended up at Kentucky.

    And if this leads to the anticipated pun-fest, I might get a blister on my little finger, maybe get a blister on my thumb.
