Grayson Allen ... He not gone

[pearl31]

Started in the game thread from when we played them.

yeah I think it's been going around the internets for awhile

 

[Briancuse]

srsly - I know he comes from money but how would he not even go thru the eval process? I just don't understand why guys like Allen and Trier pass that up

Some guys like college, and realize the Nba will be there next year.

 

[Jack Hall]

Imo he was the original affluenza teen

oh I know that but I'm talking about now with the new rule this year that allows players to get evaluated go thru the process and still come back - makes no sense to not at least do that

I thought this was gonna be an onion article.

It's fun to play college ball?

Kennard is first off bench. He is no pg. the one potential pg is Thornton; i doubt he even plays much next year...

Weren't there rumors he was transferring?

I thought it was proven back in the late 80s that K has hi level jedi knight (brainwashing) powers

If so never heard it

 

[Newhouser]

What's his NBA go to skill set? Streaky shooter, eh handle,immature. Good athlete but not for the NBA. If my NBA team took him id be disappointed

I think I saw it on the UL, UNC or UK forum at some point after Duke got eliminated. May have just been rubbish.

 

[Jasoncuse]

May as well forget next season then.

These posts are a carbon copy of last year after they Won.

I think next year's Duke roster, at least on paper at this point, is much, much better than this year's. They also lost Jefferson which decimated their interior D this year.

But the 3 recruits they have coming in are better than Ingram/Kennard/Jeter. They are 3 Ingrams.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Won't be surprised if K makes Allen PG next year.

Frank jackson is an elite PG prospect coming in. They still have Kennard and Thornton to handle. If anything, Allen should be able to get more open looks with more talent around him.

We will see. There tends to be a boom or bust with this type of approach.

They had the number one class 2 years ago and lost in the first round with their Parker/Hood group. Last year they won. This year they were around as good as us, and we had a down year. I'll take my chances with a bunch of talented and seasoned sophomores over talented freshman.

And there's no way all three of those guys are as good as Ingram. He's a cornerstone NBA player. One of them maybe. I'm not buying all three. Even if they were, UK still lost in the tournament last year taking this approach.

Giles coming off 2 knee injuries, hes a bit of a question mark. Ive watched jackson and not sold on him as a pg, looked more like a wing 2 to me. But this is nitpicking, duk is just loaded

 

[Jack Hall]

And the other thing worth noting imo. If you assume Mali and TL and TR come back and you match up SU vs duk at every position. The matchups arent bad at all imo, very interesting

I mean, yeah they have to prove they are as good as Ingram was this year, but Giles and Tatum are #1 and #2 on the recruiting boards. Right there with Ingram.

Splitting hairs, but Josh Jackson is #1 overall RSCI. He ends up at Zona, KU or MSU. Giles is 2. Fox's composite ranking is "just" #10.

Are you talking about Allen or Richardson?

 

[EastCoast2]

Bumping this, Derryck Thorton transferring from Duke... I predicted a few days ago Grayson Allen stayed because K was going to make him the PG on next year's loaded team to try to audition for the NBA as a PG.
