There are a few big questions that face us for the Wake game, but one I think is key that'll be way overlooked by the media (in favor of the size difference and Teague) is whether Duke can limit turnovers against Wake and thus make them play a half court game against us.
Our big men, Lance and Zoo, are prone to turning the ball over inside, and with their bigs, I can see that happening an awful lot. Teague, Aminu, Johnson (and heck even Ish Smith) can quickly turn Turnovers into instant offense.
Similarly, Teague can quickly go court to court and score a quick 2 if the D doesn't get back in time.
In essence, I compare this game very similarly to the Carolina game. Both Carolina and Wake have a variety of threats both outside and inside, and both of them can catch you off guard for easy points (Carolina with lawson).
Wake's big differences are that its depth is inside (Whereas Carolina has better outside depth imo) and that its D is better than UNC's. I think we can handle their D if we don't turn it over. But that's the big question right there, can we not turn the ball over.
If I'm Duke, I either start Mcclure, or start Zoo and give him a really really short leash. I expect to be outrebounded here, but if our D is solid we can survive that. Turnovers will be killer.
