You only find a contradiction when you take too literally the complaint about 'no carryover' by pointing to Justin Robinson and saying, "See? He's back. There's your carryover. In fact, here's yet another bench player back for another season. So why are you complaining about no carryover?"
Georgetown is tough! The backcourt is really strong led by McClung and Akinjo. Akinjo is like an old school hard nosed Big East PG. They have all kinds of length and athleticism, shot blocking, etc.
Duke just took the floor for warm ups getting plenty of boos.
Yeah, my take on last year's team (after loving so many of the things they did and marveling at the star power) was they faced 3 teams (varying from good to very good) in the NCAA tournament who gave them VERY tough games; Duke squeaked through twice, and lost the third one. Teams learned how to defend Duke, and the Blue Devils ultimately weren't up to winning a regional championship.
I like this year's team a lot and believe they have a good chance to advance to the Final Four. One factor in some lagging enthusiasm is just how early the season starts. November to April is a long journey.
Wendell announced as a starter with Tre, Cassius, Vernon and Hurt. That is a big surprise.
Is this the first 4 freshman starters line-up of the year? I think it is.

Offense PAINFUL to watch thus far...yikes
Defense is great.
Offense is [censored for language, imagery]
Basically dominating every aspect of the game except shooting. This team is painful to watch on offense. Thank you Carey for coming to play!
This may be thee worst shooting duke team since the 70's.

No rotation yet....
I know this team can’t shoot, but it’s a bit alarming how unprepared this team looks in facing a zone. Is K running anything anymore?
I mentioned after the last game that AOC's shot looked tentative.
I hope he doesn't go into a slump. We need him to shoot confidently.
Yes speed this game up. Playing halfcourt is not a good option for us. Plus, it doesn’t appear K has any idea what to run.
Better. We are hustling our butts and getting some bad breaks.
How good has Carey been?!
