We don’t talk about him much on here. Who has seen him play and how good is he? Does it seem like he will translate seemingly to college like RJ?

Pros: very athletic, physical, drives well to the basket. Is supposed to be a good defender.
Cons: Not a good outside shooter. More of a slasher but has good handles.
He's super athletic but raw. Is pretty high up on the draft boards for next year (top 10 maybe even top 5) so he is elite. Probably more athletic than Winslow but not as good a shooter. Winslow is a decent comp. from what I've seen. Has been some G League rumors but as far as I know he's coming to Duke.

He may not be a great shooter from deep but I’m pretty sure he’ll be solid at least. As a sophomore he shot 44% from 3 on 80 attempts.
Got any of his middle school stats?
Winslow wasn’t a good shooter until crunch time. That’s not good if he’s a worst shooter than Winslow
I mean that was 2 years ago. Really not that long ago. And it’s not like he has any recent stats due to injury
This kid has enough examples of what to do and not to do in basketball. He, along with his family, knows what his expectations are at DUKE.
He should be a solid wf/sf. Nate James 2.0.

44% on 80 attempts is fantastic. If he shoots 40% or better from 3, we are going to be nearly unbeatable. Limited video I have seen, he looks a little quicker than Justise.
Nate James was pretty good from 3 too.

It's worth noting that we lost our two best shooters, so hopefully the new guys can shoot or we will struggle again in that area. Even Kennard struggled his first year shooting so nothing's a sure thing. That's probably why we are still recruiting Baldwin. Keels is known as a shooter so that helps. If Griffin can shoot close to 40 percent that would be a big plus.

I think Moore and Roach will be more reliable this season. I also think Joey Baker is about to shut some haters up too.
Definitely think Moore is gonna be a serious deep threat next year. He's shot over 80% at the line both years so his form is fine, I just think he really needs to play with confidence more.
Bleed if those three things happen.....you're looking at a '15 type year....
I definitely think those things will happen (well, not 100% sure on Joey). The question is, will the freshmen play like grown men like Tyus, Justise, Jah and eventually Grayson did, or will they play like young kids like the freshmen last year (until Mark came alive)?
4 losses and a Natty? Where do I sign up?
True, but there is probably a similar question every year. Nolan 10, Quinn 15, Grayson 18. When it clicks, we get great results. When it doesn't, who knows?
Highlight video, but he looks like he can shoot it from deep. If he can shoot it like that we're in good shape. It's also good to see that he's healthy. He also looks like he handles the ball well. Cam looked like JJ Reddick in his high school highlights; so it's hard to tell sometimes. But this is promising.
That video shows a much better shot than i was expecting. His release is still kinda slow but he prob wont have problems getting it off with that athleticism. That last play was nasty. Moore better step his game up. We are gonna be really good i think. I think we know what we have in Williams and Paulo. They are gonna dominate. The biggest question is can the 1 and 2 get enough buckets. I have faith
I'm hoping Griffin will stay two years . That woud be nice. OFC
AJ talking with Dre. Great stuff.

Moore can’t match AJ’s game tho he will be very valuable as a wing , backup point a veteran
This should help with our shooting. Plus spacing the floor as he seems to be a face the basket guy. He looks more 6-9 than 6-11 to me though. If he is 6-11 that is just insane.
