I actually think Flagg IS going to be the villain, but it’s a role I think he’s prepared for and welcomes. He’s known as a trash talker, which was on full display in both the McD and jordan brand games. You see it on his highlight films as well. He was also pretty outspoken after our season this year, suggesting that the team didn’t have the fight they needed but that was going to change. Not the words of a wallflower. Which is exactly what we need.

I think espn is also a factor in how they portray a Duke player. Not saying that Grayson didn’t self inflict negative attention but I remember an espn article written before Grayson stepped on campus stating “the next Duke player you will hate”. They never let off the gas after that.

Recent Duke Basketball Player Comes to Terms With Leaving Too Early

The decision to bolt Durham for the pro ranks following his one-and-done Duke basketball campaign probably wasn't the best move for DJ Steward's development.

I kind of doubt it. Flagg seems to be well liked. And doesn’t appear to have that in your face mentality like JJ did. Plus it usually grows over time and great players aren’t staying at Duke long enough to be hated. As it is, people will see Flagg once - twice if they see him in the tourney - not 4 times plus the ACCT like they did JJ.

Also feels like a different culture in sports and CBB. Fans in general are softer. The offense police are always on the prowl. Used to be Duke fans just crushed opponents. Duke and Maryland. Of course with so many players in the portal every year, every team except a few look entirely different every year. I don’t know half the players at the start of the year each year.

Except for the few that know they can’t handle the NBA so make a career out of playing at UNC. 😉

“6 foot 2 165 pound shooting guard” should have told him all he needed to know about whether to stay or go.
