Absolutely agree. Frank is too good to not catch on somewhere. He'll play backup minutes for some team this year - guaranteed.Quote:

Great to see Quinn getting his ring. What a great accomplishment for him. They just showed him with Davis and LeBron posing for pictures - he is clearly a valued member of the team, even though he doesn't play that much.
How many Dukies are in the All-Star game this year? I guess we'll see either 3 or 4.
Kyrie, Tatum, Ingram, Zion
If they're going to keep calling fouls on Luke, he may as well just start making contact with the person he is defending
I don’t know but KI at 25 (front page article) and behind Tatum (11) and Zion (19) is absurd.Quote:

The reason is that Jayson is a burgeoning two-way superstar while the most Kyrie could be is a one-way superstar.Quote:

He's a lot better on flat courts.Quote:

The answer to the following question is probably -- "See message #15" -- but does anyone have a rack up of Dukies on NBA rosters after the final cuts?
Don't have the names, but here is a list of schools with >5 players in the NBA:Quote:

You killed it with “Tre likely won’t play”. Not your fault though.Quote:

-Jason "this article lists Kentucky with 31 and Duke with 26... I saw that NCAA.com has a story that also lists Duke with 29 players, but I dunno who they are counting to get to 29" Evans
So, my guess is that to get to 29, you have to include Trevon Duval, Frank Jackson, and Lance Thomas -- all three of whom earned NBA regular season paychecks a year ago but none of whom are on a roster right now. It is also possible the 29 includes Frank, Javin DeLaurier, and someone else who were all very late cuts from NBA teams just as rosters were finalized.Quote:

No need to guess. Last week the list would have been 29, but Javin DeLaurier, Amile Jefferson, and Frank Jackson were late cuts. Source: this thread.Quote:
