Pat Ngongba "out indefinitely," in a boot

Azz, I'm screenshotting this post for posterity. I know you're disappointed about Pat, but this is silly. Maliq was always playing more than 10mpg at the 5. Plenty of folks have even speculated Maliq could start ahead of Khaman early in the year.

Houston had the #1 defense in the country playing a 6-7 and 6-8 frontcourt. But it's going to go badly for Duke if we play a 6-8 all-ACC first team defender with a 7-foot wingspan for more than 10 minutes at the 5? Really??

I'm confident Scheyer didn't share this opinion when he made Maliq our #1 target big transfer knowing that Pat may or may not be recovered and ready to play this season. Jon assembled EXACTLY the team he wanted.

Yep. Brown was always coming in to play the 5 spot and given what happened to Pat he will play a lot. Guys mature so Brown may be better this year than last year. Flag and Gillis will split the 4 man spot and Flagg and Kon will take the majority at the 3.

DB, I abandoned the 3 vs 4 debate. It was too much of a food fight on here and it doesn't really matter.

I'm sticking with the following. The offense will be designed around Cooper and he will play at least 90% of his minutes with a PG, a C and two shooters. I don't expect Cooper's role on offense to change at all based on who those two shooters are in the game...
