Fraschilla Tweet: Could UK's 3 PGs Overwhelm Duke's Thornton?

Will not see Duke in preseason but number of NBA scouts told me they would be very concerned about Blue Devils playmaking. Wing-oriented

They HAVE to. That's my point. RT @henman11: @franfraschilla Grayson and Kennard can both run some point as well

Annnnddddd ESPN's love affair with Duke commences for the 15-16 season, in earnest.

Maybe my reading comprehension isn't what it used to be but that doesn't seem to be a gushing love fest for the Blue Devils.

Man Duke's gonna be good this year. They'll be one of the top 5-6 teams all year long. But look here. We're just better. And people keep forgetting we have experience returning, including our starting PG. Which again is huge. We'll beat Duke pretty easily IMO. Skal and Lee will be blocking shots right and left and on offense we're just too much for them to handle.

That's why I removed post. Had a brain fart and read too fast. An ESPN- Duke love fest is still imminent.

LOL. It's coming. We all know it.

I love it when people say so and so can play "some" point too. Yeah, I'm guessing if Grayson Allen is playing PG, Duke will be in trouble.

It is imminent but Fran's tweet is anything but a valentine.

I still don't understand the tweet. Is the NBA scout saying other teams should be concerned about their playmaking, or that Duke fans should be?

The second Fraschilla tweet explains it pretty clearly...

Basically, their point guard is the polar opposite of Tyler Ulis.

I honestly don't think Duke will be all that . They just don't have a ton of great talent like us . They have one really elite player in Ingram . We have 3 at least ( skal , murray and Ulis) . Duke has alot of good players but no inside game whatsoever . Jeter is soooo overrated . Dude looked horrible in the 6 times I have seen him.
