Given the several Duke based or related podcasts out there (shout out to the DBR podcast) with regards to former players, I thought it would be cool to have a thread related to interesting things people heard in them. I didn't really see a single thread for this upstream. As I notice now, there's The J.J. Redick Podcast, #Holdat with Carlos Boozer and Nate Robinson, and The Offseason with Jon Scheyer (which I hope continues).
To kick things off: Boozer was asked who he would pick for a team from Duke history (with regards to their college game, not how they played/improved/regressed in the pros) and what their record would be playing a full NBA season against NBA teams. He chose J Will, JJ (although Nate Robinson whispered "don't forget about Kyrie"), Hill at the 3, himself at the 4, and Elton Brand (although he thought seriously about Christian Laettner), with Marvin Bagley off the bench. I feel very torn in trying to pick people...but I can't fault him in that I think those 5 could probably win some games. He called a 50-30 record although he admits it could easily be 30-50.
Also, get out there and show some love to our guys! Subscribe/rate/etc! (felt appropriate to plug that since I'm stealing their thunder some for this thread).
