    Who Stays, Who Goes

    ManMan would fill the "hole" at shooting guard by using his second year to shore up his three point stroke.

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    You may be right. But, then again, Flagg has a lot of hype, second only to Zion's since LeBron James as far as I can tell, and dollars are worth less today than they were worth back then.

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    While I don't disagree that any NCAA team with title aspirations needs 10 players capable of providing quality rotation minutes, I frankly don't understand why fans feel the need to diminish the potential prospects of players. There are zero NCAA teams who would turn up their noses at either...

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    I don't agree at all. Foster - averaged 13 minutes per game in the NCAA tournament on a Final Four team, hitting 60% of his field goal attempts and 67% of this threes with a 4 to 1 assist to turnover ratio Harris - was a fantastic player in high school and now has a year of experience in the...

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    Well. then I would expect Flagg to exceed this number. But note that, at least as far as I can tell, this will increase the number of NBA rookies who got shoe contracts over $10 million to date to two, both of whom significantly increased their marketing profiles by playing for Duke.

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    Foster + Harris + Evans? I mean, there is still room for another wing, especially one who can make plays and handle the ball. But I don't think that the cupboard is bare.

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    To me, that remains to be seen. If so, Cooper will be breaking all endorsement records for any NBA rookie. Not that I would bet against his doing so. But note that even LeBron James made only roughly $4 million in endorsements his rookie season. And I know of no NBA player who made more than...

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    It's all moot now, but Ant got his $50 million deal after winning rookie of the year, designing his own best selling shoe, becoming a three time NBA All-Star, and starring for Team USA in the Olympics. And he's currently the 5th highest player in the NBA in terms of total endorsement dollars in...

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    What makes you say that? Zion Williamson supposedly had the 10th highest endorsement earnings among all NBA players last season at $15 million a year. And that's because he raised his endorsement earning profile by playing for Duke. Do you even know the name of the first pick in the NBA draft...

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    Depending on who wins the lottery, that $12 million could be more than made up for in terms of endorsement deals. Personally, I think vying for an NCAA Championship at Duke as the presumed national NCAA POY would give Cooper more endorsement dollars than he would get trying to turn the Raptors...

    MBB: Duke vs. Houston (NCAAT, Sat 4/5, 8:49pm ET, CBS) Pregame and In-Game Thread

    And none of their players other than their top 3 guards (who are great free throw shooters) hit over 75% of their free throws. They are 292nd in the NCAA in made free throws per game and 109th on free throw percentage. Tugler has hit just 34 of 63 free throws over this entire season, so he is a...

    MBB: Duke vs. Houston (NCAAT, Sat 4/5, 8:49pm ET, CBS) Pregame and In-Game Thread

    IMHO, these are the two best teams in the NCAA this season, and two of the top 10 NCAA teams over the last decade. To win, Duke needs to execute its superpower of not turning over the ball. And Duke needs to limit Houston's offensive rebounds. Every player needs to focus on ending Houston's...

    You are really toeing the line with that one. On edit: I see that someone already beat me to this. Time to reign it in.
