Raise your hand if this is you foresaw this particular stat: Marquis Bolden, 4 gms, 18.2 min/gm, 0.0 TO% (nat rank, 1)
I thought SDSU actually had a good game plan. Drive at Zion, try to get him in foul trouble. Limit Duke fast break opportunities. Make free throws. Limit turnovers.
Reddish has a beautiful free throw stroke. Zion's is more of a shot put. And Tre's form is just bad. Maybe Cam could coach the other guys on form?
Yes, Dad was there! What a great game for his first Duke game! Proud poppa, I bet!

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
I was finally able to take a look. On the first question, Tre looked over and nodded to Cam. He was clearly passing it to Cam. On the next questions, Cam more naturally answered first.
I will say (again), the camera work was really bad. I watched the version that is on Goduke.com The close ups on Tre while questions were being asked didn't allow us to really see the dynamics, or even get a sense of engagement with the questioner or each other. the person on camera was clearly seated very close to the dais, but could have gotten wider angle shots.
At least unlike last time, this time it didn't look like it was recorded from a taxi cab bouncing down the streets of Manhattan, so there is that I suppose.
Speaking of Zion as The Freshman Wall...
A focus for this year's team is the "stand-still 3." Motion will create a lot of opportunities, so Coach K wants everyone to be able to hit them.
Zion has masterd the "stand-still screen." Watch this 3 pointer by Reddish during the Ky game. Zion is basically a wall as he "sets" a screen. He is standing still and doesn't even brace himself as EJ Montgomery (6'10", 235#) bounces off of Zion.
Zion IS the wall!
Watch the sequence beginning at about :44 seconds. I wish I knoew how to make a GIF of this.
