He will cost himself millions by coming this year. Next years class isn’t very good and developing a jump shot and being the leader will have him in the top 15 next year. Leaving now he could easily slip to second round.

All National Championships are anomalies, whether with freshmen or seniors. We have 5 National Championships out of 119 (?) years of basketball, those 5 seasons were anomalies.
You sound foolish. MSU is a very good team and a final four team.
You can blame the change in landscape of the NBA. If this was the mid 90's or early 2000's the only go to go off this team would be Zion.
His potential is about what it is right now. I dont think he is a very good player, at all.
Lollllll lmaoooool lolllll lmaooooo back to tardville. We shoulda ran you off when we had the chance
“We” you mean you and your pack of morons? Lmao everybody here with sense knows......I’ll leave it at that.
Just as sad that Zion won’t be in a Duke Uniform ever again as us losing. That dude was beyond special.
Zion is so special that people don’t even realize all he actually did for this team. This is 10-12 loss team without him. He masked an insane amount of weaknesses. He will be missed! Dang
Tre's stock is in the 2nd round. Especially once all the foreign players, and the athletes with upside, wingspan, and shooting ability (or some combination thereof) start shooting up draft boards leading up to the Combine and draft. An average-sized PG with average athleticism and no shooting ability has very little value in today's NBA. He plays great defense, but that defense won't necessarily translate against better athletes. Would be a poor decision for Tre to leave this year.
Will be interesting what happens with recruiting in the future..but this could of quite possibly been K last real shot at a Final Four..
The team next year isn’t making one..so unless he lands some stud recruiting classes after this could of been it..

Good post RS. This is a great board. Sucks when we lose.
Heartbroken guys. Really wanted that final four. Hard to imagine not seeing RJ and Zion is Duke unies again
My life would be so much less stressful without sports in it.......why do I do it.
I’m going fishing

Lol somewhere out there is a grown man that could care less about the NCAA tourney
This one hurts...bad. We were one stop away from winning. A couple made free throws, one less turnover away from winning. It has been a fun team to watch and although this is not the end we wanted I'm still glad to be a Duke fan and always will be. I've enjoyed posting this season with you guys and gals.
This loss sucks for sure but I learned a long time ago not to get too invested in sports teams I have no control over...I'm upset we lost but will get over it quickly...more important things in life than sports
I'm sure some will say "not a real fan blah blah blah" type stuff...really don't care...I'm too old for that nonsense

U right sky u win some and lose some. I am just tired of losing every march though. We will not even be in the hunt next year unless we find some very unexpected recruits or transfers or something
What is next year looking like. I feel like we are losing more guys than we are bringing in
‘99 is still the hardest one for me. God that team was good.
Guys I really enjoyed the ride this team gave us! It hurts like heck but I couldnt be prouder of K, his staff and the guys who played for Duke this season. Have to give Mich St credit, they just ran 2 great plays at the end, and our nemesis, free throws finally did us in.
Nonetheless, BE PROUD, BE THANKFUL FOR THESE YOUNG MEN AND THRILLS THEY GAVE US!
ACC CHAMPIONS 2019, and more importantly, this group carried themselves like champions!Duke 4 Life!

Thank you. I told my MSU friends that Winston must outplay Jones for us to have a shot and he did.
Tillman and Ward are big boys and how Zion just moved them both was the damndest thing.
Crazy stat about how RJ has cost you every loss and Zion didn’t get the rock in those games.
Same man. I don’t see us being good next year. Unfortunately I think this was K’s last real chance at another title. I’m heart broken.
Could sleep last night of course so I laid in bed thinking about next year. 6 upperclassman returning all of whom have serious game experience. 3 freshman coming and maybe more. No we won't have RJ and Zion but maybe next years team won't be so bad after all.
