But he didn’t want to be here next year, so it doesn’t matter.  The coaches didn’t run him off.  It seems like he ran himself off.  Why would he do that if he felt he could earn quality minutes next season?  He didn’t want to play center, so Red got Lampkin.  Did he not want to split time with Freeman and Bell?  He did a great job for us last year and definitely has a high IQ for the game, and we’ll miss his defense.  He would have been first guy off the bench for us.  Guess that wasn’t enough for him.  I just don’t see his options for playing time improving next season at Duke.  He’ll play, but he’s in a battle with a bunch of guys that bring more to the table in terms of scoring ability, and if any of the young guys catch fire, he’s only playing spot minutes.

Again, I don’t see why everyone is arguing about a player that obviously thinks the grass is greener on the other side.  Maybe he’s making a few more $$$ with Duke?  Maybe he wanted to be closer to home?  Maybe he didn’t like seeing his friends get pushed out.  Guess we’ll never know.  Good luck to him, but I agree with Niastri.  He has an uphill battle coming for playing time.  Choosing Duke is a head scratcher if he really wanted to start and play big minutes.
