Looks like Brown getting significant time at the five for Duke with Ngongba out indefinitely

Oh well, best paid plans.

So the guy who many said didn't want to play the five for us is now going to play the five?

So, my take is Brown injures the players ahead of him to get PT

I think the kid who played in the Olympics, who is a top ten, will be starting anyways.

If Maluach (?) plays like he did at the Olympics they will be fine at the 5.

Now we just need his NIL check to bounce!

Funny part is that Brown still isn't a starter. He was third string center and third string power forward. Now Brown is the backup center, maybe even still third string depending on how they use Flagg when Maluach is out.

Duke may go small with two of their excellent small forwards and Flagg getting spot minutes at center instead of putting Brown out there when Maluach needs a rest.

Still, it's good news for Brown that one of the several guys keeping him out of the rotation is injured. His chance of minutes before garbage times increased significantly.

This is going to be another fun year on the board

Where did you get all that from? 3rd string 4 and 3rd string 5? Out of the rotation?
