Well with Javin returning we now know what our roster will look like.This is the starting lineup I would like to see next year. What are you guys thinking????
PG: Tre
SG: Cassius
SF: Alex
PF: Hurt
C: Javin
Tre
Cassius
Wendell
Hurt
Carey
He's much slower laterally than even Alex. Which would be a big issue on the perimeter.Is he that bad on D? Like worse than Alex?
Jones
Stanley
Moore
DeLaurier
Carey
Goldwire
AOC
White
Hurt
Losing Bolden was a big blow. We will have almost no depth in the post. I like the starting 5 though, it has good leadership mixed with good skill and athleticism.
With Javin back, Hurt can potentially play the 3 offensively and defend the 4/5 depending on matchups.He's much slower laterally than even Alex. Which would be a big issue on the perimeter.
However, most of Alex's issues aren't with lateral quickness. He struggles with basic positioning (he always has his head NOT watching the ball), and strength. He's just too thin.
Strength shouldn't be an issue for Hurt, and hopefully he understands basic positioning, he's just sooo slow.
Good call. While Javin is extremely limited offensively, his defensive athleticism/intensity provides a lot of flexibility on the defensive end.With Javin back, Hurt can potentially play the 3 offensively and defend the 4/5 depending on matchups.
True but both Carey and Hurt can stroke it from deep, pause.Good call. While Javin is extremely limited offensively, his defensive athleticism/intensity provides a lot of flexibility on the defensive end.
I would still be shocked if we ever see the "3 big" lineup of Hurt, Carey, and Jav. Especially with the way modern basketball is going, more spacing and shooting is always needed.
Hurt may average 2.5 to 3 times as many points as Javin.I would be shocked, shocked, if Javin doesn't start. Coach K trusts his seniors.
I just don't know about Hurt. Awfully skinny.
Wish Baker would beef up to 210 pounds and become a better rebounder like
Pat Connaughton who played w the Irish and is now with the Bucks. At 6ft 4 and 210 pounds he is a beast under the boards and can shoot the 3.

One thing for sure I'm going to pay more attention to those who don't start. I'm going to pay much more attention to their body language especially when the camera spans the bench and during time outs. I haven't paid a lot of attention in the past because I watch the actual games. I just miss too much when I watch the game action. I wish I could do both like some of you can. Any tips. I have however figured out to know who has tired legs.OFC
I must admit most of my reasoning for wanting Hurt at the 3 is I want Javin to start. I don't want to go with 4 freshman and a soph. That's too young, and we have no Zion or RJ this year. Maybe Jack at the 3 or Baker. I don't think AOC is ready to start.
Yea definitely not.Vernon Carey isn't coming off the bench....
That 9 could be really great. I’m not worried about depth in the post at all. IMO the ideal Duke lineup should be three rangy guards, a long wing and one versatile big. Get me 5 confident guys that can all shoot.Jones
