And it was weird when they announced Wendell's parent were in the stands. The admiral was there, as was Reggie Love and Carmen Wallace, and I know I'm forgetting one.
The warmup was essentially the dunk contest. Zion put on a show. He is simply dazzling to watch in person. He seems to float in mid air. He also had 4 or 5 thunder dunks during the scrimmage.
Javin looked really good. Hitting threes. Couple nice moves in the lane. Nice rebounding. Very involved.
Tyus, I mean Tre, was fantastic. He seems to really know how to get into the lane. Gonna be great.
Barrett had a sneaky 21 points. He’s got moves galore. I really think we’ll go as far as he takes us.
AOC played well. He’ll be a solid contributor. We’ll need him on the perimeter.
Baker had a couple nice threes.
Reddish looks like he’s still getting his motor back. He had a fairly quiet game but you can see the potential.
White was fairly quiet as well. And Marques seemed hesitant to me. I’m pulling for him though. We need him.
Edit: Just read that Cam had 13 points. I didn’t even realize it. Guess that’s a good thing.

I'm more confident in tre than I was in, well, tre...von. It's such a small sample size that all we have now is really shots in the dark, but he seems a bit more polished than trevon was last year...and far more active on the defensive end. He was also very composed on the couple fast breaks he had, something that Trevon struggled with last year. Time will tell.
He also doesn't need to worry about being PG while the "other" PG is the captain and leader of the team (Grayson).
If I had to make a call on which frosh I was "most" worried about based on 20 minutes of intrasquad fun-time, it would be reddish...but those guys had the blocks stacked against them with tyus and o'connel handling the ball on the other side. Goldwire is respectable, but not enough of a stud to really allow those two to shine, and they still did admirably. It was clear the balance wasn't there, though. At one point Blue had 33 points, 30 of which from barrett and reddish.
alex and 4 freshman. I'd bet hard on that. nobody else is close. Alex shoots a good 3, and seemed to have good movement off the ball and with with tre tonight. Obviously tossing in the other frosh will change things, but I don't think anyone else showed anything to make me think they have a shot at starting.
Not mentioned: highlight of the night for me was Buckmire doing the "carlton" to "it's not unusual" with Nolan. I don't think most students got it. (for any youngin's on DBR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1cLOIxsQ8 )
1200. DDMF.
With all the pie hunters around here, you should know better than to post that. (Or maybe you were aware and want action.)
I'll take Javin to start, and you can take Alex to start. Bet a pie on that?
In any case, I agree with almost all of your analysis, except for Javin struggling (and obviously Alex starting). I was quite pleased with Tre's play as well.
OMG-I will love Buckmire forever for that!Originally Posted by

Would someone with IT savvy please make a meme?
Didn’t watch CTC, but just read Reddish played with fractured rib. Did he play many minutes?
I was about to note that I thought Reddish looked behind the other two stars but I will give him a break That said - the outside shooting was poor. That needs to get better. Every year I see a player with unusual gifts in a Duke Uniform- Ingram, Tatum, Bagley and now Zion. That kid makes Lebron look human.

but for those that signed up for ESPN+, there's a series called 'Year One' that focuses on the rookie year of the 2018 NBA players. Lots of footage of Grayson and Marvin.
No reports from attendees or ESPN+ viewers who are GGLC?
Can anyone confirm if a replay is available on ESPN+? Is there another web source for viewing?
Thanks!
if you go to watch espn, there is a replay. however, i'm not a subscriber to espn+ so i couldn't watch it. youtube has a 6 minute highlight video of the scrimmage. there is also has some pre game stuff too

Warning: Linky goes to rival Duke forum. Okay to visit once, but come right back here, y'all!
According to DBR earlier this month, Coach K has said that Javin would likely be the fifth starter, at least at the beginning. Of course, that's not binding, and we know he will go with whoever he links looks best going into the games.
Re Buckmire, I agree times ten--saw the intros on YouTube and this was tremendous!
