This is probably because the Jordan brand classic is Saturday and Cassius is playing in it. It would be cool if he announced at the Jordan Brand Classic though.

It’s because it’s not on tv this year.This is probably because the Jordan brand classic is Saturday and Cassius is playing in it. It would be cool if he announced at the Jordan Brand Classic though.
AOC is not immune to boneheaded plays, like not shooting on an inbounds pass with the shot clock expiring and leaving Outlaw wide open for a game winning 3 at VT.I want him but only if we keep Alex. I just don't want to keep getting younger. It's not solely about talent.

Is that the general consensus?Seems like were gonna get him. I really want this kid.
Take Zion out because he's an actual alien from another planet.....Cassius would be the best dunker at Duke since???? Gerald Henderson, however I think Cassius jumps higher.
And he wasn’t a freshman, either

A streaky shooter who cannot created his own shot, turns the ball over, and is a liability on defense. If he is ever our full time starter we are screwed at SG.AOC is trying to play 20 minutes in 5. I really thought he looked better when he got a longer run in a game.
I really believe he would improve quickly if needed.

Only thing that I can admit that was extreme about my comments was the If he is ever our starter we are screwed. But counting just the 2 years he has been at duke the rest of my comments are facts. Im not talking about if he matures. Im talking about what we have seen so far.This is a bit extreme....probably even more so than the takes that if he got a chance to play 30 minutes every game he'd be All-ACC caliber.
AOC isn't as good as some paint, but he's nowhere near as bad, either. We have to remember he's 19 years old and just hasn't physically matured at the rate we'd like. He's shown us those flashes of being really productive....the question now becomes is he able to do it on a consistent basis? Right now, I'd say no....but I'm not ruling it out for the rest of his career.
Alex isn't where he needs to be. No one will argue that. The debate is whether or not he gets enough court time, or if it's all on him. I believe it's a little of both.Only thing that I can admit that was extreme about my comments was the If he is ever our starter we are screwed.

We all know practice is important. But game time isn't like practice time. Anyone who's ever played anything competitively should know that.
It's also hard for our role players to show what they can do when K brings in 4 elites. They're getting the bulk of the minutes. Alex played 0 minutes against UCF, then played 35 against VT, to then be rewarded with 3 in our finale.
Yes, he needs to be better. But he ain't the only one. This past team, for example, everyone not named Zion hurt us in some way or another.
I understand the frustration with AOC but man I think back on the limitations Nolan and Cook and Zoubak and others had before they broke through...in large part because they were relied on.
Every year we see 3* prospects on other teams kill us and we wonder why Duke can’t recruit those kids...but those kids grow because their team needs a player to grow.
I’m not saying Alex can be great...he may never be that guy and many don’t even with a ton of opportunity.
I wouldn't compare Nolan and Quinn's game or opportunities to AOC. Both those guys averaged double figures as soph. Their problems were maturity and possibility patience. AOC needs pt!
Let’s see what happens in the offseason here Ace. You may be right, but you’re coming to a lot of conclusions before we know who can do what.I don't think Alex has earned pt. It's going to be even harder next year for him to play with Tre, Boogie, Goldwire, Moore and possibly Stanley. I don't think he should play over any of them. His shooting isn't that good
Alex may be a better 3 pt shooter than all of them but I like the driving ability of the 3 freshman. Jordan and Alex seldom attacked the basket versus man to man defense.
exactly who I thought of . Frank wasn't very tough though and as a 20 year old this guy may be more mature physically.I think staff definitely saw something in Stanley that made them get involved so late! Glad we are in the hunt to pick him up.Sounds somewhat reminiscent of Frank Jackson to me with his driving ability and athleticism. Competion should bring out everybody's BEST! OFC

We don’t have to look very far to know hype and reality didn’t work out too well for one of our kids, yet here you go already casting Alex to the end of the bench.
If the staff believed in Alex they wouldn’t have put on the full court press for a west coast guard who was nearing a college choice. Think about that. Plus Stanley isn’t projected as a one and done. So that means they expect him here for as long as Alex is here. The writing is on the wall. It’s pretty clear. We’ve seen each incoming recruit’s skills. Each one of them are better all around than Alex. He just have shooting over them. I’m not sure he is a much better shooter than Boogie if at all
Couldn’t the same be said abkut boogie
Lol yeah since tre hasn’t locked up 35 if those minutesNo because Boogie can actually play the point too. Alex can’t play the point. Boogie is a true combo guard. Stanley and Alex are wings
Why would Alex need to play point? He’s a true Sg who has never really been leaned on for more then a supporting role coming off the bench.No because Boogie can actually play the point too. Alex can’t play the point. Boogie is a true combo guard. Stanley and Alex are wings
