This is probably a good place to drop this...
Take a look at these minutes played and points scored by a recent Duke player through the first month of the season:
11min, 2pts (against Kentucky)
10min, 2pts
6min, 3pts
16min, 5pts
21min, 18pts (against a Colonial conference school that does not offer scholarships)
11min, 2pts
6min, 0pts (against Gonzaga)
2min, 0pts (against Ohio State in B10 challenge)
Dude looks close to worthless. A grand total of 3 points scored against legit opponents and barely even in the rotation. He was coming off of a pre-season injury and it seemed doubtful he would become much of anything.
By the time we got to Christmas, he was raining threes all over the place and routinely scoring in the mid-teens. That summer, he was taken just outside the lottery.
I, of course, am talking about AJ Griffin.
The notion that Dariq Whitehead isn't going to be a hugely impactful player for Duke a month from now seems laughable to me.
