Both are very well deserving of the award and knowing the friendship between these two, I doubt any of them would feel any sort of jealousy or resentment toward the other. Both just want Duke to win!

Nice problem to have....

There was an interview with Zion a couple weeks back where he said,” playing with R.J., who is the player of the year in my eyes is always fun !”

Zion is about the team and it’s rare for a young man about to makes millions put his team first and he’s always mentioning his team mates.

This is what makes him even more special than he already is. He's such a humble kid and loves his teammates.

It's great to be a Duke fan.

I hope Zion wants to beat him out for that award and I hope RJ wants to beat Zion out for that award. I hope they both would trade it for a national title if they could. That is if they had to choose. Maybe one of them will be Duke’s equivalent to AD.

They really would trade it for a natty w/o question in my opinion! OFC

Co-POY

 

[jcdevilfan]

I don't think I really care which one wins the Award, or if by some odd chance they might share it , I am only hoping that they get to play together one more time and be happy, and well, you know, have their banner hanging in Cameron?!
Go Duke!

For those who listen to the podcast my prediction prior to the season was that RJ would be ACC ROTY and Zion would be POY....

Just hope Barrett can claim a first-team All America selection. He deserves it.

Another thing we discussed, but i agree. If he’s not a 1st team AA, is a travesty.

Is it purely a media vote or does Duke put up the players. For instance, in my conference and most other conferences in the NCAA that doesn't get the media attention, we have to nominate one individual (and only one) for each speciality award. So we would probably split one for ROY and one for POY like you suggested...

Both have been beyond outstanding.

It seems like I remember seeing s video not too long ago with Zion and RJ and in the video Zion said he hopes that RJ wins but I can’t remember if it was the NPOY that he was taking about
