    Way-Too-Early Projected Lineups and Stat Lines for the 2024-2025 Season

    Characterizing this sort of spitballing speculation as a "heated debate" is kind of silly, IMHO. Obviously, none of us posting here knows right now who is correct. The only reason I posted anything at all is because I was wondering why anyone at this point would question the consensus, on the...

    Way-Too-Early Projected Lineups and Stat Lines for the 2024-2025 Season

    I don't generally consider All-Star games good for measuring players' skills, although Dylan Harper's highlights from this game were frankly unbelievable. From what I saw on twitter, Harper made every defender the other team put on him look silly. And I can't find a single mention of Kon's...

    Way-Too-Early Projected Lineups and Stat Lines for the 2024-2025 Season

    Personally, when I try to process all of the available information objectively, I can't help but conclude that Kon is the closest thing Duke has to a surefire rotation player after Flagg and Proctor. As far as I can tell, he could end up anywhere from 2nd to 11th in Duke's pecking order, but...

    Way-Too-Early Projected Lineups and Stat Lines for the 2024-2025 Season

    I also wonder where the idea that Kon is a poor defender is coming from. I am not saying that I have evidence that Kon is a defensive stopper. In fact, I have seen segments of his high school games in which his defensive stance and attention to detail were both questionable. But I haven't seen...

    Way-Too-Early Projected Lineups and Stat Lines for the 2024-2025 Season

    Yes, talk is cheap. But when everyone talking is saying the exact same thing, isn't it the definition of confirmation bias to keep dismissing this incoming information? https://youtu.be/eoq3TGJ60No?t=1185` https://youtu.be/2_eVKLFYqgE?t=790...

    Way-Too-Early Projected Lineups and Stat Lines for the 2024-2025 Season

    I have to wonder just how many Duke players need to say that Kon has impressed them the most out of any player on the team in practice before some people make the leap of faith that the kid is more than ready to contribute this season.

    2024 Olympics - General commentary

    The Brits were beating up on Maluach, who was game but was typically overmatched by the physicality of the game. The good news to me is that NCAA play is not typically quite so physical.

    The greatest run in any conference tournament in NCAA history?

    Has any other team ever beaten a top 50 team, a top 15 team, a top 10 team, and a top 5 team over a 4 game stretch?

    Historic Defense

    Through its first 36 game, our current 2009-10 Duke team is holding its opponents to 61.0 points per game. The last Duke team to hold its opponents under 62 points a game over a full season is the 1949-50 Blue Devils (in Dick Groat's first season).

    Dishonorable Discharges

    It's sad that college basketball fans can actually support this: As many as 11 scholarship players ... could return off last season's roster. UK also has signed three players from the high school class of 2009 ... and UK still is believed to be pursuing at least three other high school seniors...
