Off-season thoughts

I may have to drive to Eugene to see him play.

Don't bother. He will transfer again before you get there.

DBR is calling him Iffy.

I'm not saying he will be any good or not, but Walter Clayton started his career at Iona. And he only averaged 7 points a game his freshman season.

 

[Willcampbell]

Any clue as to why he transferred? Closer to home? No. More PT? Doubtful. Wants to watch a post-season game in person? Maybe.

Pretty sure we go to only 1 home and home in ACC play

Us and the Heels I get. Who has a h&h with SMU?

 

[christophero]

He looks decent. Big body, a bit raw. Blocked a shot and then scored against Texas, so could play in small spurts. Not much to lose really. Heard he has 2 years left. Upgrade from Borden. Ceiling could be Reeves. Good student. Seems like these types never play much but you never know.

OK. Just read that it is Louisville That's good.. they aren't on the Atlantic Coast either.

I can probably name 5 ACC players who do not play for Duke. Schutt is still at VT as far as I know.

 

[sheyduke]

Same here . I can probably name eight .

As a native New Yawker auwl I gotta say is Go Knicks!!! Up 2-0. Bite it Celtics.

Inexplicable collapses by the Celtics.

Sorry Chris, Go Celtics and Tatum for me

 

[dadecodevil]

Do we call him "Big Pat" so we can avoid trying to pronounce Ngongba?
I suggest the nickname "Big If" for our latest addition.

Absolutely! Life is too short to be spelling all these names! Slim, Rese, Coop, Kon,Sion...we were spoiled this year!

Multiple teams like Coward at the back half of the first round reportedly, so he better really love Duke.

And hopefully we were able to offer him close to late first round money.

Will the top college programs ever get to a point where they can outbid the NBA for not only first round picks but even top 5 picks? It may not matter since the college money comes with the stipulation that you have some sort of academic course load and most people don't want to deal with that.

Hearing, scouts stating the believe Coward to the NBA. Maryland in the mix for Wilkins.

Did some research on ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and CBS Sports on The Blue Devils. This is what I’ve discovered on those 3 sites collectively

Flagg: Consensus #1 pick. Jazz the favorite to land him. If this happens he and Filipowski will team up.

Knueppel: Projected to go to the Spurs or Rockets. 8-9 pick in the lottery.

Maluach: Projected to join Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett thus forming The Toronto Blue Raptors. Top 10 Pick.

Evans: Sports Illustrated had him being taken early in the 2nd Round. 33rd Overall Pick to the Charlotte Hornets.

Coward: No where to be found in any of ESPN’s, Sports Illustrated, nor CBS Sports latest mock drafts.

Evans and Coward are going to have to really impress during the draft combine to slide into the 1st Round.

Good Luck to these 5 along with Proctor and James.
