Dukies in the NBA 2019-20

Noticed RJ didn't show up on the Devils in the NBA Page this morning: http://huckleberry.mhu.edu/devilStats.html

RJ starting point guard -- 37 minutes, 21 points on 9-13 shooting.

Yep, Kennard finished with 30 on 8-9 from three...Kyrie with 50

That, as they say, is an employable skill!

He's there now.

I had to guess whether he was "R.J." or "RJ", because the site didn't publish stats for any preseason contests. I guessed wrong, so when it scraped the data from the source page (basketball-reference.com) it whiffed.

But hey, thanks for using my page!

Wait, your page is named "huckleberry?" You're such a hound.

Long story, and it's not even a good one.

TL;DR I was partial to Val Kilmer's portayal of Doc Holliday in Tombstone when I was in grad school at Duke and selected my first hostname (I'm your Huckleberry...). The name stuck.

One of the first sites I check every morning. Thanks for keeping it going!

Whew! At least it doesn't have anything to do with ol' roy and his striking separated-at-birth resemblance to the TV cartoon character...

Every big? Zoubek? Marshall? Bolden is not done. He did give up a bigger leadership role and perhaps a degree- but he has som b-ball life.

MP3 played in the NBA over the course of 2 seasons. Didn't play much but he got some checks from the NBA. Zoubek may very well have gotten some interest but he got injured right at the time that teams were evaluating for rosters and just decided he was done with b-ball. I agree though, Bolden is not done, and i'd be surprised if he doesn't wind up in the NBA sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I, too, felt like it was time for him to go. His pro stock was not going to increase much more. There is now a decent recent blueprint for Duke guys in his position (e.g. not making an opening night roster) to wind their ways to pro careers either in the NBA or overseas...Quinn, Lance, Seth being the shining examples of guys who made it all the way to a substantial NBA contract, Amile being someone currently on the path toward that, maybe Trevon is as well? (I can't find anything recent about him) Marshall and Ryan being guys who had a cup of coffee in the league before either heading overseas (Ryan) or continuing with an Army career.

MP3 played over 2 seasons, so more than a cup of coffee, maybe like second breakfast, or 11sies, for very very tall hobbits. Ryan also played over the course of multiple seasons, so he had a full course meal.

Otherwise, very impressive night for Duke alums in the NBA!!!
Kyrie and Luke have been covered, and both were amazing!
Justise had 27-7-7 on 10-21 FGs in probably the 2nd or 3rd most impressive game of the night for Duke alum!!!
Tatum scored 21 & 10 on 8-22 FGs for 4th most impressive, wow!
Bagley had 14 & 10 on 6-16 FGs
Wendell had 12 & 9 on 5-11 FGs
MP2 had 5-4-5
Hood had 13 & 5 on 5-10 FGs
Barrett had 21-5-2 on 9-13 FGs
Tyus had 15 & 7 ast on 6-12 FGs
Grayson had 5 pts on 2-6 FGs
ed.2- Seth had 9 on 3-6 FGs
Duke scored 213 pts last night (if my math is right)!!! Plus 2 double-doubles, 2 others were just 1 or 2 rebs away from said, and Tyus and Justise were sniffing around said with 7 assists each...

can't wait for the Duke alum aggregator page to make its debut!!! ed.- i see that it's already in action, YAY!!!! ed.2- I also didn't see Seth Curry originally, so 222 pts for Duke alum last night!!!

Bagley out 4-6 weeks. Unfortunate, as many feel he could be on the verge of a breakout season.

Ugh! Duke guys not catching many breaks on the injury front.

[Steven43]

Out for last night's game with a sore knee.

For all that crazy talent, I wonder if he is broken.

I think many Duke fans felt that way (broken) during Harry’s one year in college. At least that was the general feeling among fans I spoke with. He then missed his entire rookie year due to previous injuries. He played in parts of 58 games during his second season — not exactly great, but still encouraging.

Here’s hoping Harry can overcome his recent setback and have a healthy and productive third season. We are all pulling for you Harry. We haven’t forgotten.

Same here, thanks for all the hard work and it keeps me from laboring over NBA box scores. More difficult since this old geezer no longer has a newspaper delivered (driveway’s too long and neither dog/wife trainable).

Ayton had a pretty solid game, and this was through no fault of his own, but he legitimately injured Bagley, Fox, and Hield (basically, the entire young core of the Kings) in the span of about three minutes in that game. I think that only Bagley's was serious, fortunately for Kings fans. But it was a very weird little sequence.

[bundabergdevil]

Cam getting his first burn against Kennard's Pistons. Hasn't hit his first NBA shot yet but looks like Luke is starting where he left off last night w/ his hot shooting.

[godins]

Wow, Kyrie’s averaging 50 points a game this season. The change of scenery from Boston must really have done him some good.

[ice-9]

Must be because he wants to be the main man on campus and not play second fiddle to anyone. Why he chose to join the Nets with KD.

picking up where they left off in college....

I wish Kyrie well and hope he succeeds in Brooklyn. I really do. I also hope the Celtics do well (Tatum is still on that team). I know many were laughing when that last shot didn't go in for him, but I think it sure would have been incredible if it had. Talk about a great opening to the season for one of our own. That would have been better than a bag of hot boiled peanuts.

Your newspaper has NBA box scores? Kudos.
