I gotta say that our old dino coach is doing a great job with this group this season.

In the end, the lack of bodies may well do us in, but Jimmy has this group maximizing their potential at least for the time being.

The team has found it's identity. Our big three are in general playing to their max. I think there is room for improvement from Roberson and Joseph. Roberson is showing he is a terrific glass eater. I think he can be more consistent offensively, and we will need him to do that because sooner or later one of our big three will have an off night and somebody will have  to pickup the slack. KJ has really come on in his ball handling and improving the dime to TO ratio. He has got to get back to taking and making his pullup Js. Big thing for him may well be just to improve his D.

Unfortunately, the bench is awful thin, so at least we can't criticize Jimmy for not using it. It is hard to expect great things game in and game out from Buss, BJ, or Chino, but at least once in awhile we need one of them to get hot & save a game.

Anyways, we are getting close to the time of the season when we often suffer mid-season swoons and we are also close to having the schedule toughen up. But for my money, I never would have thought we would have spent any time atop the ACC this season, so kudos to Jimmy for finding the formula to at least make this season interesting. Duke now looks beatable at least on a given night, so the important thing is that there is no reason we cannot at least be in the mix.
