And isn't there a major risk of injuring his foot again? And, if he is back, can Duke find a way to utilize him? For the most part, it's tough to run a lot of Duke's current system with Zoubek in there. But if he can give Duke a big body to use situationally, that's more than enough, and anything else is gravy. 2) Is Dave McClure actually healthy? I really don't think so. In fact, I'm almost positive that we'll find out that he never fully recovered from his off-season surgery. He's playing as hard as always, but his rebounding and help D are not as sharp as last year. We really need him off the bench, given our lack of post depth. Can Dave step up? Is he healthy enough to do so?
