This team isn't good. First or second round. That's the ceiling. Not going to be sad to see this season end.
Three of these dudes will be good pros. Jury is out on Duval, he has to learn how to shoot. Allen might want to check out opportunities in China.

even if he learns how to shoot, it won't fix that

What I'm telling myself is that he's like Westbrook, in that Westbrook was athletic but couldn't shoot either. What I'm also telling myself is that because he can't shoot, he forces the game in other ways and makes bad decisions (not counting the bad decisions of deciding to shoot anyway).
So for now, and since he's young and his actual stroke isn't terrible, I'm believing he can improve that part of his game and dial back his errors.
Allen, I just don't know what happened. He peaked while playing alongside Brandon Ingram. He has been underwhelming these past two years.
That reminds me of something you're too young to know about. Tradition in politics is to chant "four more years" for an incumbent president at their convention, and that would often extend to graduating seniors at several of our fine universities.
On Laettner's senior day at Duke, the crowd turned to his mother and started chanting "One more child! One more child!"
Ah, those were the days.

duval is what happened to allen lol
he's not just bad and dumb selfish, he's toxic/derailing/depressing selfish
duval's lack of give a fuck combined with being a high school sophomore on the court is the source of a lot of duke's issues. and its not like coach k can bench his one and dones

I'm eating supper and a snack while watching this LSU-Vanderbilt game for some unfathomable reason.
e: LSU has only one or two non-trash players, but Will Wade has them performing above their talent level, imo

Oh, hey. Tremont Waters just got his 159th assist to pass Ben Simmons for most LSU assists by a freshman. It was a highlight worthy one, too. He rocked the baby going to the rim, got two guys to jump, then passed it around them to a diving cutter for an open dunk.

The documents tie some of the biggest names and programs in the sport to activity that appears to violate the NCAA’s amateurism rules. This could end up casting a pall over the NCAA tournament because of eligibility issues. (NCAA officials declined a request for comment.) There’s potential impermissible benefits and preferential treatment for players and families of players at Duke, North Carolina, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan State, USC, Alabama and a host of other schools. The documents link some of the sport’s biggest current stars – Michigan State’s Miles Bridges, Alabama’s Collin Sexton and Duke’s Wendell Carter – to specific potential extra benefits for either the athletes or their family members. The amounts tied to players in the case range from basic meals to tens of thousands of dollars.
An ASM balance sheet in the hands of federal investigators shows accounts through Dec. 31, 2015, with the subheading, “Loan to Players.” It listed several who were in high school or college as receiving four-figure and five-figure payments from ASM Sports. Among the largest listed loans:
Dennis Smith, who would go on to play at North Carolina State in 2016-17, received $43,500 according to the documents. Another document headed “Pina,” for ASM agent Stephen Pina, says Smith received a total of $73,500 in loans, and includes notes about “options to recoup the money” when Smith did not sign with ASM.
Isaiah Whitehead, at the time a freshman at Seton Hall, received $26,136 according to the documents. The “Pina” document says Whitehead received $37,657 and was “setting up payment plan.” Whitehead signed with ASM but later left the agency for Roc Nation.
Tim Quarterman, at the time a junior at LSU, received at least $16,000 according to the balance sheet.
Diamond Stone, at the time a freshman at Maryland, received $14,303 according to the documents.
A listing that refers to “BAM” for $12,000 is later identified in the documents as Edrice “Bam” Adebayo, who would go on to play at Kentucky in 2016-17. He did not sign with ASM. There’s a later reference to Adebayo that says he received $36,500. “Bad loan,” reads the document.
Markelle Fultz, who would go on to play at Washington and become the No. 1 pick in the 2017 draft, received $10,000 according to the documents. He did not sign with ASM.

I think this is just one agent and there are some others. Also this agent seems kinda shitty (and cheap).
Does NC State matter within the borders of the Carolinas? I feel like last I really heard about them was Julius Hodge lol.
In football yeah but in basketball they don't although they damn sure try. They just spent the last 10 years trying to get UNC jammed up since they couldn't beat us on the court and failed.
By Smokey Go To PostDoes NC State matter within the borders of the Carolinas? I feel like last I really heard about them was Julius Hodge lol.
Don't let the relative lack of national recognition full you, State is way more popular in NC than Duke is.
State has also beaten both Duke and North Carolina this year, thereby proving both squads as being frauds.
(State actually beats Duke on a semi-regular basis, including in the 2010 and 2015 championship seasons.)
