Barf. This draft stinks and Flip can't even vie for the top pick. There are skilled freaks like Wemby and Chet brand new in the NBA and people give Flip credit for not tripping over his own two feet. GTFOH.
4. Duke
The Blue Devils return five of their top six scorers — Kyle Filipowski, Jeremy Roach, Tyrese Proctor, Mark Mitchell, and Ryan Young — from last season’s team that won the ACC Tournament and earned a five seed in the NCAA Tournament. That doesn’t include an elite recruiting class, headlined by five-star prospects Jared McCain and Caleb Foster. The best roster in the sport resides in Durham.
5. Kyle Filipowski
He’s not Christian Laettner, but Filipowski does have a chance to be an All-American as a sophomore for the Blue Devils. The versatile, 6-11 forward averaged 15.1 points and 8.9 rebounds last season as a freshman.
6. Arizona at Duke on Nov. 10th
It’s very rare to get two programs of this caliber to engage in a true home-and-home series, but that’s what will commence on the first Friday of the season at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Devils will return the game to Tucson during the 2024-25 season.
