When asked where he would want his son to go if he were a top-50 high school recruit, he listed Duke for education (among 3) and Duke for strictly basketball (among 4).

I want to know if Stanford is interested. Or Duke. Or Vanderbilt. Degrees from those schools are worth a lot of money, and if my son could succeed in the classroom there he'd either make seven-figure salary in the NBA or a six-figure salary in the business world. Those aren't bad options. ... if you're question revolves around strictly basketball then I would tell you that the obvious answers are North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky, Indiana, you know, places where the fan bases are so large and passionate that my son would be a star in the region regardless of whether he was really a star at all.
He does preface the remarks by saying playing time is the most important.
