Awesome episode and I totally agree that Paulus is somewhat unfairly maligned among Duke fans. He and McRoberts came in as a highly ranked duo similar to Okafor/Tyus or Greg Oden/Mike Conley and expectations were sky high. They never achieved that level of success and I think a lot of Duke fans see Paulus as a bust or whatever, but he always competed and played hard and did a lot that we sometimes overlook.

I appreciate Jason describing UNC’s struggles in such detail, I know that must have been really difficult for him to do.

I was always a big Paulus fan and agree with UC that he has been unfairly maligned. I will have to give this a listen.

Loved the interview.

Funny enough, Greg has a 15-month old named Preston, while I have a 16-month old named Preston!

His started walking a few weeks ago; mine started walking 5 months ago! I'm sure these are predictors of future athleticism.
