    I thought K already gave Tre a verbal adios...I can't possibly see why he'd return.

    That only matters if he had made a snap decision in the immediate aftermath of the NCAA canceling the tournament. Given time, cooler heads will prevail. The family already has an agent afterall (Tyus'), who will remind Tre and the family if needed that athletes have limited earning years, that the 25th pick or so is guaranteed about $3.5M and is very likely (through options) to make another $2M-$5M on top, that injuries can occur, that bad shooting seasons can occur (especially in a smaller NCAA sample), etc etc.

    It doesn't break the laws of physics for Tre to return. That's about it.

    If he wants to play in another NCAA tournament. I don’t think he’s likely to stay. But, it’s not at all difficult to imagine why he’d return.

    Did Wendell have a dunk this year?

    Are you being serious? Of course he did. Many, in fact.

    I don't think the players are as sentimental as we are. Million dollar paycheck or another NCAAT? Tre was already player of the year, can't see him coming back.

    I agree, Tre would be wasting an MVP season on hopes of winning a couple of championships(ACCT and NCAAT). I know he loves Duke University and wants to be champion like his brother, but I just don't see Tre taking that chance. Plus, how good is the OAD freshmen class of next season supposed to be. Are there many point guards that he would have to compete with?

    I remember at the start of Grayson’s junior year, K openly stated that he was on a three year plan to graduate with the intent of leaving at the end of that season. He even took five classes in the fall (which is a huge load even for a “regular” student) in order to get his degree in three years. But then plans changed and he ended up staying a fourth. So even if you believe that K’s statement about Tre meant that he was planning to leave this year, plans can always change. Aside from missing the tournament, who knows what will happen with the draft, the combine, the start of next season, seniors coming back, etc.

    I asked a buddy of mine who covers the team, because I couldn't remember seeing it and noted that he never dunked when he had the chance during the last few games.

    The result: Wendell did not dunk in the 2020 calendar year and had 3 total dunks during the 2019-2020 season.
    Whatever the hell "it" is, Jabari found it.

    This surprises me. I distinctly remember seeing him dunk.

    I don't suppose people are trying to say that he is not athletic enough to dunk, right?

    No. He can definitely dunk. He's also got like a 7'0 wingspan. But, no one can say that he's a particularly explosive athlete, which is why I think he doesn't have big dunk numbers. Doesn't really matter because he doesn't get his shot blocked or he gets a charge when he gets in the paint.

    However, his best shot was his lay-up against Carolina at the OT buzzer.

    I have to think these kids are trained enough by the Duke media team about how posts like these will be interpreted to be smart about it. Tre set them example last year. So I view this as a great sign

    To the naysayers who will say “he was never going pro”... that’s just not the landscape we live in now. Anytime a top-50 caliber recruit stays in school it’s a big plus that was never 100% guaranteed, regardless of draft projections (just think about Trevon).

    Wendell has the potential to make a huge leap from year 1 to year 2. Make him go through the Tre Jones/Jordan Goldwire 3 point shooting boot camp this summer and he’s got a completely different offensive game.

    This is good news. We’re becoming numb to such things already, but this is good news!

    I agree on Wendell's shooting, but to me his drawback is his ball handling. He lost the ball frequently on drives.

    That's definitely another point to work on, but I think the shooting is something that's a little bit more immediately attainable. Based on what we saw this year I think Wendell might project best as a "3 and D" type guy with some slashing ability, rather than a "point forward" type player that many thought he might be based on his recruiting profile. Given the likely role he'll have on next year's team, combined with the fact that Jalen Johnson does project as a more polished "point forward" style player, I think his shot will be more critical than his handles in the role we'd like him to carve out.

    Man, it's already baseless speculation time about next season when it should be baseless speculation time about Selection Sunday. I just got sad again... no, must stay happy, Wendell's probably back!!!
