When I was at Duke for a recruiting visit back in the day, we were touring Cameron Indoor (which looks like a glorified high school gym). Coach K came through a door and dog cussed every recruit and the coaches that were with us, for being on “his” floor. The coaches quickly ushered us out. Never liked Coach K and his ******** shtick after that.
What depth, though? Especially in the post. Fulk, Nkamhoua, Plavsic, and Aidoo. BHH is already going to play more than 2 of those guys, and probably 3 of them. We have a bunch of deferential guards and wings, a PG who will penetrate and dish thus opening up lanes for our bigs, and shooters who should keep opposing teams honest. I’m not saying I expect Grant Williams type numbers, but I don’t think 10 and 7 across 25 minutes is totally out of the realm of possibility, either.
What I’ve come to understand is that unless he makes an exceptional leap in being able to defend the post he’s going to be playing the 4 exclusively which then puts him probably in a share w JJJ who is a veteran player and also former 5*. Even though that’s not his natural position, given our strength in the backcourt it makes it easier to push JJJ into more minutes there. Seems premature to start expecting specific volume stats for a freshman in that situation before he steps onto campus
Interesting list of names, as two of his comparisons I’ve seen were PJ Washington and Reginald Perry. Washington averaged 27 mpg, 11 ppg, and 6 rpg, while Perry averaged 24 mpg, 10 ppg, and 7 rpg.
