Dook's Flagg 'hesitant' in debut

jones, okafor and allen say hello....
He’s going to be a very good or even great player, but the bottom line is true freshman do not lead teams to titles. It just doesn’t happen, no matter how good. That Duke Zion team was insane, but completely fizzled out by March. Countless examples of Cal teams doing this.

This duke team will be no different.

This is a common statistical misunderstanding. There have been 2 teams over the last 15 years that have tried to win this way with true freshman (Kentucky and Duke).

If we say that those teams tried to win with freshman every year, If we count all of those years and just the AD, and Okafor titles that would be 2 out of 30 titles chances or 6.6%, and then everyone else won 13 of 5,295 chances (15 years times the 353 other teams) a .283% chance. It is not even close.
