Also, Tatum

[cspades99]

holy word. He's easily my favorite one-and-done at Duke in a long time. That kid's a beast.

Every offensive set that he doesn't touch the ball is a mistake.

 

[RF2044]

He is so much better than Jabari Parker, it isn't even close.

Could see that guy being a top 2 pick, depending on who's picking.

 

[OrangeDW]

Yeah, I don't see a flaw.

 

[Madbiker]

At least Tatum won't be there 8 years like Amile Jefferson.

 

[Jeremy L.]

Kid knows the fundamentals and then some.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Like a way better version of Otto Porter, scary

This year should be a great draft especially at the top so I wouldn't be shocked to see him slide closer to 10, but like you said it depends who is picking. He is easily one of the top freshman in the nation and if you need a scoring wing how could you not take a player like him?

And Otto Porter was the best 3 in the history of the Big East.

 

[orangehomer]

dude is legitimately good. I think giles would be killing it too if healthier, he looked like a guy that would really give us problems. actually I was surprised K pulled him in favor of Jefferson at some points.

 

[AZOrange]

Best player in NCAA.

 

[OttoMets]

Agree, kid's very talented.

My other takeaway: Tatum, among others, couldn't stop Gillon in any one-on-one situation.

Don't bet on Duke. They can do some good things, but they can't get a stop when they need one. That's not a championship team.

K liked Jefferson's rebounding and his defense on Lydon.

 

[jdubs30]

Including tonight; his last 3 games:

22/41 from the field, 12/19 from 3, 10/10 from the line, 28 rebs, 8asts, 66pts

aka

22pts, 9rbs,3asts, 54% from the FG, 63% from 3, 100% from the line

 

[pearl31]

Best player in NCAA.

top 5 for sure

What's Giles's story? Will he go pro based on potential or will he be the next monster for Duke next year?

Duke has a bunch of excellent athletes, and more than their share of dead-eyes.

But, they have a couple of major deficiencies--no rim protector, and no natural point guard.

He's a guy who could come back and end up going #1.

No one talks about Marques Bolden on their bench. Kid was a top 15 recruit and decided late on Duke over Texas and barely plays anymore.

 

[PauliePeppas]

He's a guy who could come back and end up going #1.

Not to mention Bolden, top ten recruit...gets no tick

 

[OttoinGrotto]

At least Tatum won't be there 8 years like Amile Jefferson.

Yeah, it's pretty special when a scholarship player is able to earn a ph d.

 

[pearl31]

yeah will be really interesting to see what Giles and Bolden do after the season

 

[longtimefan]

He's a guy who could come back and end up going #1.

But those knees.

 

[MadNY3]

holy word. He's easily my favorite one-and-done at Duke in a long time. That kid's a beast.

Totally agree. Fluid, smooth, smart, talented.

I hope he's a monster for Duke next year and then goes lottery. To be so talented and have multiple ACL injuries before you even reach college is really cruel
