    Zion compared to Lebron

    Jealously and idiocy, with a dash of illiteracy. This thread combines all three. Well done.

    RJ Hampton

    From what I've read, he is taking classes so that he can re-class to 2019 if he wants to. His dad has said they have no plans to do so. Duke is going to be desperate for a PG, I imagine they'll be pushing hard for a re-class.

    Zion compared to Lebron

    Those stats are college only. Here are Zion's, you can find Randles by going back a few years: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/zion-williamson-1.html It's not just the stats, though, Randle was much more limited offensively than Zion is. Not sure how anyone who has seen both...

    Zion compared to Lebron

    Lol on comparing Zion to Randle. Top 10 for dumbest take I've read: Randle's PER: 23. Zion's PER: 43. Randle's O-rating: 114. Zion's O-rating: 132 Randle's D-rating: 98. Zion's D-rating: 94. Randle's win-shares: 70% higher than "average"; Zion's win shares: 220% higher than...

    Cal post game rants

    Cal comes across as pretty disorganized, so it's not a shock that he doesn't have the team "prepared" like some other coaches do. But yeah, all the screaming is a bad look and hard to imagine it actually helps the players during the game. Other coaches can coach up 1AD talent w/o screaming at...

    No team in the last 17 years has shot the 3 as poorly as Dook is now and won it all

    Not sure it would have mattered, really only one team they've played that they couldn't out-talent and that was Gonzaga. Next week UVA will be a test - probably the team most tailored to take away Duke's strengths.

    That 2012 UK team wasn't as good as folks on this site think:

    No team in the last 17 years has shot the 3 as poorly as Dook is now and won it all

    Duke so far is one of the best 5 teams of the last 15 years. It's easy to cherry pick whatever stat you want to make a point. But a top 5 offense and top 5 defense usually leads to a Final 4. After that it's luck and match ups....

    Frustrated but I see a Silver lining

    Hagans is getting better every game, great to see....

    Duke -20.5

    True, don't have a deep bench, but K only plays about 7 guys anyway. If you look at the top couple of guys off the bench - Jack White and Bolden/Javin - not only do they have better advanced stats than anyone on UK's bench, their stats are better than all of UK's starters as well. If Duke...

    Duke -20.5

    Duke doesn't have any major deficiencies this year. Their 3p shooting and free throw shooting may cost them a game or two, though.

    Corey Evans says Isaiah Stewart is a three-horse race between UDub, Dook and UK

    Stewart has shot 35% from 3 on a good number of attempts, and (I believe) is shooting over 70% on free throws. So he has potential as a shooter.

    Corey Evans says Isaiah Stewart is a three-horse race between UDub, Dook and UK

    As a Duke fan, I want more talent than less, and trust the staff to figure out a way to make it work. But I generally with you, not sure why he'd go to Duke unless either him or Carey can play as a stretch 4.

    To all you people who vanished after the UNC and Louisville wins...

    A Duke fan's perspective - I no longer post after losses because I had an agenda - that Coach K was past his prime, and our tourney exits reflected that. When Duke won, I was almost disappointed because it didn't fit with my perception of Coach K. I suspect it's the same thing on this board -...

    Is UNC Significantly Worse Than Duke, or Has UK Significantly Improved?

    The whole transitive Beat X who beat Y who beat Z means X kills Z doesn't work, at least not in college basketball, when matchups play such a big role. As of today, I think Duke would beat either of these teams by 15+ because their D would turn all those turnovers into points. With UK, it's...

    Sunshine Pumpers Unite

    UNC looked terrible. UK looked a bit better. It will look good on the resume when it comes to seeding, but not sure it means this UK team is all that good....

    #2 Duke vs. #12 Texas Tech - ESPN2

    Unlike recent years, Duke's D is elite this year. Lead the country in blocks and maybe #3 in steals. Probably Duke's best D since 2002.

    #2 Duke vs. #12 Texas Tech - ESPN2

    He's been more efficient recently, obviously not this game. Although a game with the #1 defense and the #3 defense is pretty much guaranteed to be ugly. A bunch of us were slamming RJ pretty hard on the Duke board after the Gonzaga loss.

    #2 Duke vs. #12 Texas Tech - ESPN2

    Nah, White is a really solid stretch 4. The "Death" lineup with him and Zion at the 4-5 is probably Duke's best lineup. No way is Cam going in the top 3. He's struggling big time.
