Brown starting at Duke.

Good for him, but he no longer wanted to be at SU. Everyone should get over it.

I am over it. Was one of my favorite players ever. Sadly because only got the 1 year (and went to Duke), couldn't make it officially into my top 5. Just posting to show he's someone that would have been a big help, obviously. AND I understand it was a decision he made to leave.

Well, you know how it goes - Syracuse's trash is Duke's treasure...wait... that doesn't seem right...

I think may still squeak by without him.

I'm a big fan of Malik and I understand his decision to leave. Love his demeanor and understanding of the game. I hate to say it, but I watch parts of Duke games to see Malik and I root for him to do well (just not against us).

Bold take of the day -- Brown to the NBA. To make it from Syracuse in its current state he'd have to be flashier, more explosive, more take-over. But at Duke his game will get noticed. Wouldn't be shocked if he gets a chance.

I agree. Brown could be one of those bench players that sticks around the league for 10 years - a guy nobody has ever heard of. He can defend multiple positions at a very high level. He won't give you much on offense, but he will take advantage of every easy opportunity. No mistakes, high percentage player. Smart.

Even if that were to happen, we'd still have a portion of our fanbase rationalizing how his departure was no big deal, because he "couldn't" do X, Y, or Z.

Who cares if all advanced stats shows he's one of the best defenders in the league and efficient on offense, if he can't do a Shammgod into a triple axel, I don't want him.
