Well, considering we saw yet another new starting lineup -- and this one had a major twist -- we were bound to get some interesting plus/minus material to chew on. Sure enough, there are more than a few things worthy of note:
-Moving Scheyer to the point worked. Duke was +11 when he was in the game without either Paulus or Smith, but -4 otherwise.
-With Singler in foul trouble and McClure sick, G was critical filling in a bit at the 4. And Duke was outscored by six points when he was off the floor.
-The addition of Williams into the mix allowed Duke to play a small lineup similar to last year's version with DeMarcus Nelson. The difference is, Smith is a bigger, more athletic defender than Paulus. So, Duke can hold its own -- even inside -- with a group of Smith-Scheyer-Williams-Henderson-Singler. That said, it will be interesting to see if we go with that group as often when McClure is back.
-Nolan is still struggling. His -4 +/- was one of the more disappointing results.
-Plumlee made an impact as well, although he has to stop fouling so often.
Let's see how many of these different groupings continue when McClure comes back. Anyway, on to the numbers ...
