Could Alex have helped to make Duke better? I think he could have. However maybe he wasn't ready. Was it his decision? It could have been mostly his, but I do not blame Coach K if he also thought it was a good idea. It is 100% impossible and nothing but pure conjecture to try to after the fact debate if Alex had played how much he could have contributed. You can't miss what you've never had. That is kind of how I feel about it. With a year under his belt of not only getting used to life at school he also got a year of practice along with strength training with the team. I think he will be much better this next season starting out than he might have been last. So it could have helped last year. It did not hurt us either. It will be a benefit next season and moving forward.
GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
