I don't think it is likely... but I don't think it is laughable either. I suspect Filipowski will get some time at center next year with Mitchell playing alongside him. I think it will be interesting to see if Duke tells Lively to just go crazy and try to block everything, knowing that foul trouble in the post won't really be a worry with both Flip and Young as quite capable post players also on the roster. In a case like that, we may see Lively only average around 20 minutes per game, which would leave a good chunk of time where Flip and Mitchell would likely be on the floor together.

Well, in the press release he's wearing #1, and in the last decade or so no player wearing #1 has stayed more than one year:
2022- Trevor Keels
2021- Jalen Johnson
2020 - Vernon Carey
2019 - Zion Williamson
2018 - Trevon Duval
2017 - Harry Giles
2014 - Jabari Parker
2011 - Kyrie Irving
If Proctor wears #1? It's over.
Honestly, I get the sense that because he's played in Australia he's way underranked/undervalued by most of these recruiting sites, especially given the success that Australian players from his program have had in the league lately. Given the potential for a Shaedon Sharpe situation, I view getting him on campus for this year as nothing but a positive, and any possibility of him sticking around a bonus.
As an aside, while there is a lot of "what if's" to think about regarding the potential of a senior Jeremy Roach, if Proctor is OAD that makes Jeremy sticking around for 2023-24, and being in a similar two PG backcourt with Foster, much more viable. Roach, Foster, and Proctor would probably be too many cooks in the kitchen.

Thanks for posting that. He is clearly always looking to improve, and his self-analysis was very good about not being result-oriented. A couple of times after he was shown making a bucket or getting a successful stop, he would say, "Yeah, I really probably should have done <something else>." Good to hear that from someone that young. I'd say he's a good passer but not a great one, and I'd like to see him try to lose the slight hesitation he has in the high point on his release, but he looks like he'll be able to be a solid contributor. I'm looking forward to seeing him in action next year.
A big advantage this team has over 2017-18 is Jr Jeremy Roach vs Fr Trevon Duvall at PG. That’s no small thing.
It's a great thing to have a junior PG vs. a freshman PG, but statistically I think any advantage Jeremy has over Trevon Duval might not be much of a big thing, either. Hopefully Jeremy will make a big leap next season, but we can't yet know if that will happen and last season he was only better than Duval's sole season at scoring and turnovers plus a tad better at defensive rebounding, but was worse at most of the efficiency stats and way worse at assisting and steals. Believe it or not, over the full season their effective shooting% and free throw rate were about the same (though Jeremy shot better when he got to the line). I'd probably call it a wash or possibly even a slight edge to Duval, since he was probably a better defender and assist rate is a very important stat for a PG (though obviously TO rate is as well).

I hope we don't ever hear Coach Scheyer say we got knocked back.
Is it fair to ding Jeremy for his assist rate when shared the floor with 2 or 3 other initiators every time he was on the floor? Trevon only really had to contend with Grayson. Jeremy can definitely stand to improve his assist rate, but it is hard to rack up assists with a gaggle of other players starting the offense. Trevon also had a pair of back to the basket bigs who were fairly high up on the offensive pecking order along with 4 guys who shot 40% from 3 plus another who shot 37%.
My daughter has a friend from college who lives in Tasmania. She just emailed me saying she was watching Proctor’s team play Hobart’s NBL1 team, the Hobart Chargers, on tv. Said he was good!
Jeremy's assist rate was the same his freshman year as it was his sophomore year. It wasn't that strong in high school, either. He's really always been more of a shoot-first combo guard/PG. Duval on the other hand, had a very high assist rate in high school and a very high assist rate in college. He's always been more of a pass-first PG. I don't think it's "dinging" Jeremy for saying Duval is a more willing (and probably better) passer. Especially in the context of the OP saying that Roach over Duval at PG is a "big advantage" for the 2023 team over the 2018 team.
We can also watch that game online here:

He led the team with 16 points in 24 minutes.
This is the same team that Jack White played for before his freshman year at Duke. Unlike previous years, they are not playing in one league, instead touring the country and playing teams from all the NBL1 divisions. Opponents vary in strength, but a typical team in this league has two Americans and a few Australians with experience at the higher NBL level or in college in the United States.
