    Absolutely agree. Frank is too good to not catch on somewhere. He'll play backup minutes for some team this year - guaranteed.

    Great to see Quinn getting his ring. What a great accomplishment for him. They just showed him with Davis and LeBron posing for pictures - he is clearly a valued member of the team, even though he doesn't play that much.

    How many Dukies are in the All-Star game this year? I guess we'll see either 3 or 4.

    Kyrie, Tatum, Ingram, Zion

    If they're going to keep calling fouls on Luke, he may as well just start making contact with the person he is defending

    I don’t know but KI at 25 (front page article) and behind Tatum (11) and Zion (19) is absurd.

    Absolutely. That’s ridiculous.

    Being behind Zion is absurd, but I suspect close to 30 GMs would rate Jayson higher than Kyrie for this season, *even if* you could promise Kyrie good health and never making controversial statements to the media again. The reason is that Jayson is a burgeoning two-way superstar while the most Kyrie could be is a one-way superstar.

    That said, I think when healthy, Kyrie is a top-15 player (i.e. All-NBA caliber [third team]) so 25 is too low. The rankings were probably influenced by stat nerds, who have never been all that high on Kyrie.

    He's a lot better on flat courts.

    Tre Jones vs. Tyus Jones tonight. Cannot wait. Tre likely won't play, but what a great moment it will be to see the two of them meet before tipoff.

    The answer to the following question is probably -- "See message #15" -- but does anyone have a rack up of Dukies on NBA rosters after the final cuts?

    You killed it with “Tre likely won’t play”. Not your fault though.

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    So, my guess is that to get to 29, you have to include Trevon Duval, Frank Jackson, and Lance Thomas -- all three of whom earned NBA regular season paychecks a year ago but none of whom are on a roster right now. It is also possible the 29 includes Frank, Javin DeLaurier, and someone else who were all very late cuts from NBA teams just as rosters were finalized.

    But, my bottom line is that when the first batch of regular season NBA paychecks are sent out this week or next, I am pretty confident that 26 Blue Devils will get one, not 29.

    No need to guess. Last week the list would have been 29, but Javin DeLaurier, Amile Jefferson, and Frank Jackson were late cuts. Source: this thread.

    Amile was also waived.

    R.J. Barrett has 20 points at halftime as the Knicks lead the Pacers 66-61.

    FWIW.
