First off, Bagley has been better than I thought he would be. He is some kind of good. The kid is posting double doubles in almost effortless fashion. He's so good, Carter who reminds me of a taller Elton Brand, is looked at as the sidekick. This Duke team has some young talent.
The biggest reason though, and I've said it many times, to me is the unselfishness of Allen. I think he puts the team over his personal stat line. I don't have the stats in front of me, so I may be wrong, but he has only had one game where he took more than 15 shots, and that happened to be the game against MSU where of course Bagley only played the first 10 minutes.
When you have a kid who is not just a senior, but a really good one on top of that, being a fascilitator for others, that should make all Duke fans smile. We played a weak team last night, and Bolden had a good game, as did many others. Bagley had another double double, but Grayson only took 5 shots, and had 14 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.
What Allen has shown in the first month is true leadership, and because of that alone, right now we are the best team in the country. My hope is 3 months from now, we can say the same thing. That will be a compliment to the whole team, but their has to be a leader, and I think Duke has the best one in all of college ball.
