Awesome.

Glad to see that Billy has had such a long career in the front office. He is a nice guy and the embodiment of shut-down Duke Defense.

Mark Macon says hello.

Didn't the 76ers do this a few years back? Very cool.

Thanks for catching and posting that news; seems like a good thing for Mason's transition to the pros.

What are the rules concerning the NBA guys working out with current Duke players?

Should be interesting if the Brooklyn bigs develop adequately.

Oh to be a fly on the wall during the inevitable conversation, perhaps even dinner, between the two Mikes - Krzyzewski and Prokhorov - if they haven't met already.

I think this is really exciting news. Any connections between Duke and the NBA can't hurt recruiting, even in the softest ways, and this is an interesting new twist. Plus, I hope our players get to watch and hang around a bit with the pros so they can see how hard they work. I know these guys are around pros in the summer and such, but the Nets have an unusual line-up of Hall of Fame type guys known for their work ethic.

In that vein, I hope Jabari can hang around and watch Paul Pierce at work, since I understand Pierce is one of the guys Jabari has been compared to (the NBA All-Star analog). Not too many opportunities like that.
