We can only hope that others eventually "grow up" too.

Dayton's Holmes pulled out of the draft and picked...Dayton. That one was a surprise to me. Although he is not a grad transfer so he missed the deadline to go to another school. He was projected roughly mid second round. Might be a bit undersized for the league at 6-8/9 He's listed at 6-10 but that may be stretching it.

I say this as married to a black woman, every day unofficially is white male hetero day…
Wise advice. But when a dope tees it up like this one did, it is fun to take a swing at it. I penned this one at 7:16 in the morning, so I wasn't my usual smiling cheery self.☹️ Besides it was too early for Budweiser and hotdogs (I am not strong willed enough to lay off of them even for a day like Chris tried to do). Guys like Chappelle do not make me mad. Like you, I kind of stay that way. But as long as there are angry geisers like us on this board, trolls beware. Hospital? Lord no! Too drastic a diet change. OFC
Yeah, hospital. But I lived. Hospitals do suck in one way, though, despite the aforementioned nurses: No hot dogs and they do stupid stuff like count calories (and tell you about it!).

Been hospitalized 5 times, twice for cancer, three times for back surgery. Have not been in since 2016 for back. Cancer has been all clear for 15 years. Knock on wood. So, I have a lot of experience with the hospital routine. OFC
God bless you, man. Beating cancer has got to feel better than beating trolls.

Been busy, why’d we let aziz go to Cincy? Was it because of udeh? We let stars get in the way of a proven player smh
Hell, yea! Really lucky. Got both way early. No chemo, no radiation. Love Duke hospital and doctors. However, beating trolls also very enjoyable. Will stick with that.

I hope not. Then this thread can mercifully die.

Not lucky, my friend.....strong!
Be sure to follow up with your paleontologist.

I think there is a very small chance of a Duke 2024 target big reclassifying.

It will be interesting to see who takes the final starting spot. Might be match up dependent. Young, Stewart, Power or one of the freshman guards.
Are there posters that actually think Reeves will start, or am I missing something? Not knocking the kid, but did he make a miraculous jump since the season ended?
Reeves is a good piece to have, esp. against a team like Purdue. He may get 5 minutes or so against big teams
I like Reeves ahead of Young, for sure. But I could also see us going with Mitchell, Power, Flip in the front court (or a fresh guard at the 3) if we determine that our chances are better to outscore the other team. That might make us a very good offensive team but likely not as good defensively. Young and Flip playing the majority of minutes together is just not a good idea from my view.
Reeves will be higher than 5mpg, and my bet is he will start next to Flip. Flip didn’t come back to play the 5 most of the time.
I agree a year under your belt brings experience and maturity, but I don't think Duke should sacrifice Flip at the 5. Flip needs to be secure at the 4. Reeves and Young are enough to make sure any time Flip is at the 5 it's with limited minutes. When Reeves and Young are in foul trouble, we will welcome Stewart at the position.
Exactly. I do not want to see if Flip can defend a 5. I need Flip's offense for 35 minutes.
I do know he can take a punch though lol
Glad you are okay @Devilinside
Not sure what Livingston is thinking by staying in the draft. If he’s lucky, he will be a late 2nd round pick. Know Kentucky along with some Texas schools are trying to get Arthur Kaluma out of the portal. IMO, he has the most upside of any player still available. Could see him making a massive improvement from his time at Creighton to playing in the SEC or Big12.
Somebody around the Dayton program also got him a decent sized NIL deal for next year. Nothing major. Just an additional $95k on top of what he was getting.
Not sure he starts, but Ryan Young sure as sh*t better not start.
I think that ship has sailed Chris, but no worries. "Stay Calm And Have Beer And Hot Dogs." OFC
I’ll stick by my original prediction that Reeves will supplant Young at some point in mid to late ACC season and in which case that is a great thing for us.
I attribute my recovery in part to my strict beer and hot dogs diet.😁 OFC
I noticed, from the Duke adult camp, that Roach is in a walking boot…..it starts already 😂
Saw that too. I'm assuming just out of caution from when he hurt his foot in November?
I am curious to know if Stewart could play the 5, which would allow Flip at the 4 and Mitchell at the 3. If I had to guess we start the season with Flip, Mitchell, Roach, Proctor and one of the freshman guards.
Could he? Possibly in a pinch but that would not be good for us or him.
Wondering same thing about Stewart. He's "a jumping jack" so I think he probably PLAYS bigger than 6ft, 8in. I think it's a definite possibility. OFC
Stewart reminded me of Jefferson in the clip I saw.
