why show all your cards at a scrimmage meant to be nothing but a glorified pick up game?
The game against ASU will really show some of what we’ve been hearing about this team.

Really don’t need a post game if this team flys up the court like they were doing . The uptempo style we’ve been looking for the last two seasons , this team has it . One to three passes and we’re at the offensive basket .

IF the bench can truly keep up with productivity when subbed in on both offense and defense . How many teams in the NCAA can really stay fresh. The bench is key with this team .

The only issue I noticed is we seem to be entirely a face the basket team. Mal can dunk and finish but he's not a catch and jump hook type of finisher. He's more like Lively. Big guys usually develop those types of moves in year 2 or 3.

I didn’t watch it, and never do. I don’t think there’s anything that can be an indicator on any of the guys.
We need real games, and imo, about 3-4 to get any decent idea.

Good summaries guys.

I was disappointed that Maluach was used only in PNRs and no post ups. I guess he doesn't have a post up game at this point. I think that takes away his length advantage but I guess they want him rolling to the basket a lot.

Gillis looks to be more of a 3 and D guy and he will get PT because of his experience and toughness. Knoeppel has talent but at one point either Evans or Foster blew right past him. There will be times when he's over matched on defense.

I like Foster and Proctor playing together especially since they seem to be good friends. Having 2 point guards to push the ball up court will be a benefit. Sion will get lots of PT as the main guard off the bench. I could see a 25/25/25 breakdown of minutes with Evans getting some time also at the guard spot.

Frankly I haven't seen Cooper as a dominant player yet, more of a do everything guy like Battier which of course is a wonderful thing if that is what he can do.

Brown is very solid but definitely plays below the rim. I hope Ngongba is able to play eventually.

I'm sure they'll look a lot different in a few weeks.

Clinton, W, Obama, Biden/Harris - they’ve had power 28 of the last 32 years
The one guy who had it for 4 gets all the blame.

@SDevada blames Trump for stealing money from FEMA in 2019, citing Daffy Duck times as her source. What a dumb, dense, and angry broad.

Just watched the highlights. Foster looked really good, much better than Proctor to be honest. No way Foster comes off the bench if he has made the leap which he appears to have done. We shot well but seem 3 happy. We don't seem to have much of a post up game but have some good slashers. Mal is bigger and better than I thought; definitely the rim protector we lacked last year. Sion seems ahead of Gillis; he is much more aggressive. Sion definitely has some DeMarcus Nelson to his game and is a good finisher. Gillis is solid and a pure role player in a quiet way. Evans and Kon impressed and seem to bring different things to the table. Evans reminded of Mitchell when he was playing well with his athletic slashing but seems to be a better shooter. Kon has a nice shot but does seem a bit slow. Cooper is smooth; he has a game that reminded me of a more athletic Dunleavy. Brown is solid; seems happy doing the dirty work. Harris is more than a shooter; he will be a good one down the road. Cooper and Foster looked like NBA guys to me. Mal could probably use 2 years but the scouts like his length and upside. Proctor played good D and made some nice passes.

I watched the entire thing from start to finish . I don’t think there was any push on offense from the staff . I think the focus was on defense. Really didn’t see offensive sets being ran . I also agree the three’s were definitely being shot . Even Mal shot one .

You know that was to protect US citizens? And what's happening now is to protect illegal immigrants and put US citizens out. You're a fvcking idiot.

I’m going to take a long break from this board. The more I read from DAT and Devada the more pissed off I get. They should be dropped off in WNC and see what they think then. Piss off, I’m done.

Don’t stay gone too long 91. They wouldn’t care about the folks in WNC. They’re the deplorables. The Left has been taught to hate. Whatever they accuse us of is what they’re guilty of.

Let's show GT that we are for real and become bowl eligible. 6-0 would be great!! GO DUKE!!!

Now they are calling for a strong hurricane to hit the Tampa area on Wednesday. Crossing over and out to sea after that, but man, the west coast of Florida can't even catch their breath before getting hammered yet again.

Do you have any idea how obnoxious you are? You’re probably the school laughing stock, the one the other teachers make fun of in the teachers’ lounge

Why do we think FEMA is shutting down the airspace for private helicopters? There hasn't been a single incident, so no real reason to. The private helicopters have delivered the vast majority of aid to people who are stranded. They're also turning volunteers around on the ground and telling them if they want to help, to donate to FEMA. According to actual people on the ground.

You’re the bigot. You automatically give people of color the benefit of the doubt over good old white Americans. That makes you equally racist. I’m sure if white Canadians were costing taxpayers billions by illegally poring over the border, wreaking havoc in our large cities, and generally being a pain in the ass we’d all be thrilled.
Well at least you’re not supposed to be teaching today while posting your drivel. Progress!!

I look for Philly to take them down, and LA to take out Philly on way to WS. I am a ABM fan- I know they're happy. However, as much as I despise the Phils I will be rooting for them to beat Mets. Hope Yanks take it all Chris!! 🌭 🌭 and 🍺 (Coors Lite of course).

A picture is worth a thousand words. Take the picture on the left. I wonder how long the generations of the couple on the left have been paying taxes, whose ancestors have fought and died for this country. Then there’s the guy on the right. Done nothing for this country other than soak up valuable resources with a smirk on his face.

My initial thought is, you can't really be this stupid can you? However, I've read too many of your post to know, yep, you're that F'n stupid.

Should I break it down for you or just let you wallow in your own stupidity. For the record, MY criticism has been about the FEDERAL Government. Unless our Feds are 100% libs, then my reference would be all involved in the Fed.

Now to your first question, the criticism of the Federal government is exactly WHY it should be dismantled. Try to keep up lil buddy, it ain't dat hard. You try to present yourself as this smart Duke grad, but man, you're really stupid. Again, and I repeat, just STFU about stuff you know nothing about.

Now I see why NC education is in the toilet. It's people like you leading our youth to the sewage field.

Former Duke faculty, not an alum.

Take your own advice about NC education and my life.

You sound about as unreasonable and disgusting as that guy who used to have a monkey toy in his avy.
