Players We Are Most Excited To See This Season...

Going back to Jiml's question about starters, that presumes that one of the two centers starts. No guarantee that happens. On the other hand, if Hurt hasn't toughened up, he doesn't get an automatic start.

I think we are really in trouble if Hurt doesn’t work himself into an automatic start.

Goldwire and he should be a captain this year.

He will be a captain no doubt and he’s earned it.

 

[Liftee]

Who ever thought Goldwire would be a captain and possible starter on a duke team? If anyone had said that 3 years ago we would have figured Duke has stopped recruiting altogether. He is a true success story, just like JRob would have been had Duke been able to finish up its season.

I’m just looking forward to the “keep fighting fellas” on every game thread, winning or losing!

 

[kingbluedevil]

The good part about Goldwire he will show these freshmen how hard you have to play on defense.

 

[Fourteen44]

Goldwire is already my fav player for next year.

I remember seeing him at CTC when he was a freshman. He wasn't really impressive that night. There were some great freshman there. Carter, Bagley, AOC, Bolden and Grayson was a senior but there was something special about him. He really played hard and I could tell he loved being a Dukie. I knew that he would become a senior and I love our seniors. I hope we are kind this year to a great senior and who has earned our respect. OFC

Baker has potential to be a great Jr.-Sr player if K gets him in there, let’s him be involved. Lot of mental aspects he needs to conquer.

I think K got him in there, but Joey just wasn’t consistent.

K loves shooters....especially guys who can carve their own way. Joey just hasn’t done that....yet.

Clips of Coleman intrigue me. That's an adult body. He's gonna hurt some people, whether he means to or not. A very interesting prospect.

 

[christophero]

The frontcourt is a mystery for sure. Do we go small or does Tape or Williams claim a spot? Coleman or Brakefield? Does Baker shoot well and get big minutes? Hurt and Johnson will be in there but after that it is a mystery. Guys will get their chances.

 

[skysdad]

Side bar. Is pronounced Tape as in scotch tape or Toupe' as in the fake hair. I keep hearing sports talk show host pronouncing in Tape as in scotch tape saw somewhere it should be pronounced toupe'. OFC

 

[christophero]

Idk I pronounce it Tap eh but I also said Shane BattieR before he came to Duke.

 

[df64]

Ta pay is how I have heard it explained.

 

[df64]

When Bacot comes onto the lane, their will be a large bill ta pay-we hope.

 

[christophero]

That's why we need Tape. He will be situational, but we will need more than Hurt and a thin Williams for guys like Bascot. I know Coleman can help as well.

 

[christophero]

Not sure where to put this but Corey Evans announced yesterday Kuminga is reclassifying and going to the G League.

Ever wonder why Coach K is the G.O.A.T. ? OFC

Not surprising one bit. Good luck to him.

 

[BlueDevilStop]

For me, it's Steward and Coleman.

Steward can really light it up from what I can tell.

Coleman had all the physical gifts. We'll see how well he uses them.

I look forward to seeing Moore's progression as well.

I can't wait to watch Coleman. Could not be higher on the kid.

 

[IFaZe]

I’m going with Goldwire. And I’m predicting we cut down the nets in large part because of Jordan next year
