Duke Player Power Rankings

[CameronBornAndBred]

This is kinda fun. A power ranking set not on teams, but players.

This week's power rankings feature seven players who have averaged 15 minutes of playing time thus far this season, and who saw action in at least one game last week.

Zion is #1, how shocking.

Silly, but fun. BUT, "puzzling loss to Syracuse?" We were down two starters for most of the game, including our only real point guard. Oh well.

He said the same thing in an article earlier in the week. Typical ESPN writing about things without actually having to pay any attention. Really sloppy work.

I don't expect ESPN writers to follow every team in depth as we do for duke, but I expect them to not overlook things like "oh you lost 2 starters."

I'm not sure there are any ESPN NCAAM writers who I think are particularly good/insightful anymore.
