He’s borderline unplayable right now. I just don’t get why he gets more pt than evans and kon has such a long leash to throw bricks up the whole game. Evans deserves more time

Totally agree. Foster brings you nothing off the bench. At least Kon will get in there with his hustle and battle for rebounds. Think Jon said in the postgame conference that he's got the teams best assist to turnover ratio.

I'm ok with Kon starting and having Evans first off the bench for the firepower.

A month ago y’all were bragging about pulling a higher percentage of the youth than you had in decades. Now you’re deporting them back to the left, huh? 😂

Surf, this is amazing work. Thank you! I'm not sure why you post all this great information for free but you have a big fan right here!

There are several guys coming back that I did not realize still had eligibility. I did not realize so many O linemen were coming back. Same with Nick Morris. What was his injury that kept him out the entire second half of the season? Luckily Howard and Nicholson played great for us.

The extra weeks of practice before the Bowl game is like having an early spring practice, without the incoming freshmen.

Again, Surf, thanks so much.

Duke’s last three games have been brutal offensively. Maybe it’s the breaks between games, Finals or whatever. But they need to figure this out because they aren’t playing good ball right now. Thankfully the competition has been down and they have one heck of a good defense. Still time to fix this and right the ship but can’t afford any letdowns in ACC play. Onto GT this weekend. Hopefully Coach Scheyer has some tough practices scheduled because they need it.

Not sure why some folks keep labeling Evans as being better coming off the bench. Just because thats been his role, doesn’t mean it’s best for him to remain there. I could see if those ahead of him were playing in such a way that it warrants it but this is not exactly a 1999 situation with Corey Maggette coming off the bench.

Yeah, Kon needs to shoot better, and our guards need to get their feet in the lane more. But, I think our offensive struggles are more due to Cooper. I'm not blaming him, but I am blaming him, if that makes sense. When he's on the court, which is 97% of the time, it's like the others look to him first, and if he's not available, then they'll go to another teammate. I'm sorry, but his offense isn't anything to brag about. His defense and rebounding are though.

The sample size is small, but go back to the Louisville game. Think we had a 2 point lead, with roughly 10 or so minutes left in the game. He picked up his 4th foul, went to the bench, yet suddenly the lead grew to double figures. I think that's because the ball moved better. It's as if each guy on the court were looking at all their options.

This falls on Jon.

So much for shooting fewer threes. :( In the end it was 33%, but for the first 30 minutes it was 20ish. Why shoot 27 of them when they aren't going in and we have big men inside??

I agree that our guard play seems to be regressing. We do not seem to have any guard who can penetrate and dish, and when they are not hitting threes, many of them open looks at home (BTW), it's not a good look. I do think we see Foster slide down into the 8-9 spot on the bench. I wonder if he's still feeling the effects of his injury? Kon definitely is in a slump, and yes, I agree he gets a very long leash. He plays hard and does good things on the floor, but it sure would be nice if he starting hitting shots at a better clip.

Anyway, a 20 point win. Next!

Disagree.. the ACC is bad real bad outside of us and Clemson as bull city say if we don’t win both regular season and tourney this year is a big failure

I mean should Duke win both, Yes. Can they not win both, a course.
I see that the rotation is locked at partially nine although that will shrink more( Evans, Brown, Gillis ) mainly coming off the bench with toss up minutes for big Pat and maybe Harris ( doubt it though). I see Duke splitting with UNC and atleast three to four head scratching losses in conference .

According to the extremist rhetoric y’all deal in here, this means that 41% of all 18-29 year olds are sheer evil. :rolleyes:

Just saw Duke ranked 298th in team tempo two seasons ago, 253rd in tempo last season, and came into tonight ranked 246th in tempo this season. That’s interesting to me.
Click to expand...
It makes sense. The half court offense plays like the 246th fastest tempo in the nation too. They take forever to do anything and most of the time we barely have 1-2 guys in motion. Our offense is so simple it’s easy to guard imo
