MBB: Duke 78, California 57 - Postgame Thread

I don't think Kon is a projected top 10 draft pick because of potential. Of course he will improve, but his game won't change dramatically. If Cooper weren't on this team, his usage would go up significantly and he'd probably be an 18/5/5 guy.

The NBA GMs think he's a more talented player for the next level than Broome. Some of this is how their skills translate - or don't translate. But yes, it's your definition of talent. There's no question Broome is the more productive player this year.
 
I like how Tyrese has kind of taken back more of larger role in the offense lately. He's really progressed as a shot creator this year. To me, his quickness with the ball and decision making have leveled up high level over the past handful of games. He's looking aggressively to score, he knows his spots, and is strong and tough enough to get there now. He's become a truly awesome basketball player. Really proud of how far he's come.

And on the subject of guys looking to score, that 6 minute stretch from Caleb Foster is peak Caleb Foster. This guy was really miscast as a point guard for this team. His instincts when being asked to be a distributor are completely wrong, and so you get a guy who is just thinking too much every time he has the ball instead of doing the thing he's actually good at, which is getting buckets.

I'm not sure if he can sustain THAT level of production, but if we're going to get anything out of Caleb the rest of this year, you gotta let him be him. We have enough other guys who are great passers and decision makers with the ball, I think it's obvious now that Caleb isn't a PG.
