🚨 official game day thread game 1- Duke vs Maine 🚨

[The_Only_Blue]

Gonzaga beat Baylor. Roach and Edgecombe shot 4 for 20.

That dunk from VJ over Mark Few's son was vicious

Don't know why he even tried lol

Kon reminds me of Taylor King when he was on. Kon seems to be a score in bunches guy. Would like to see a bit more dog in Proctor. Overall a nice win. Love the toughness James and Gillis bring. Brown has been a little quiet.

A calm Taylor King so far...

Not Good

Good teams win, great teams cover.

I agree with the above posts about foster and proctor. We do pretty good with James in there as point. He can get in paint whenever he wants with his strength.

I think alot of our games will be like today's. We just wear out our opponents with our depth

I agree - in fact, I think we’re better with James in there - I’d take Proctor off the bench.

I get the comparison, but King could only shoot, and he was prone to some really big cold spells. Kon can also drive, rebound, pass and defend, none of which King was particularly good at.

King was a top 10 player as a high school junior. He could ball. Personal issues derailed him. I agree Kon is more well rounded.

In the two game sample on Kon, I’d compare him to Dunkeavy with JJ’s shooting stroke.

Is Kon the most surprising Duke freshman ever?

This early ? After playing against Maine and only one game ? see how he plays against Kentucky Arizona first .

My starting 5 would be Foster, Kon, Gillis, Cooper and Mal. Proctor, Sion, Brown off the bench.

That would be a good one. Proctor may show out next game so we have options and there will be a lot of games our second unit is going to look better than the starters. No other team has talent and experience of a Brown coming off the bench

I like Gillis or Sion starting to set the tone
