Maliq Brown to Duke

[RyanCuse44]

Any chance for that BJ Freeman kid, the big guard from Milwaukee? Or Darlinston Dubar from Hofstra? Both are good shooters. Freeman could play PG. I guess Dubar could be a forward possibility if Davis doesn’t happen.

I'd take Freeman

Saw rumor that Duke is in pursuit. That would be hilarious and perfect.

With Malauch and Flagg, would he be playing small forward?

Not bad, for such a limited role player who's an offensive liability.

Per our board.

Ironically he would be going there to play the same role he would have had here the coming season. Back up all three front court positions and be the ultimate glue guy.

Maybe, have to assume it would be for much more $$$ and more eyes on him.

Makes you wonder.

So, if $$$ was not an issue, he’s saying it’s better to come off the bench at Duke than at SU?

Maybe he just wanted a change of scenery when it was clear that his role was going to be the 6th man? Who knows? He’ll play less at Duke than he would have here. I’d bet on it.

He hasn’t decided yet. My point was a high-end program is targeting him to play the role that our staff wanted him to play here. Perhaps he’ll go elsewhere to be a starter. I don’t think anyone would argue against Duke having more money to toss around than we do.

 

[Cusefan0307]

He’s not going to Duke. A former poster who runs a twitter account that likes to stir the pot saw some Duke fan tweet that he liked Maliq as a player and said twitter handle ran with it. Ridiculous and very 2024.

Duke will not offer him more playing time, but he will be a perfect role player for the talent on that team. You don’t need to run any plays for him. He will just feed off everyone else. With a group of Five stars he isn’t afraid to guard. He’s a little like Michell, but he wanted to play a bigger role without the necessary shooting skills. With Maliq you don’t have to worry about it.

Plus, the brotherhood.

This would baffle me. He would get equal to less playing time, probably less with that crazy class Duke has coming in. 8th man off the bench at Duke? I thought he wanted to start?

 

[Scott11]

Interesting world where Judah ends up being orange for life and Maliq is a traitor, but that is reality.

He didn't want to play center. He won't at Duke.

Isn't that why we brought in Lampkin...to play center? And Maliq as the 6th man off the bench at the 4 spot while Donnie starts?

Maybe Duke is offering to play him some at SF?
Maybe sitting behind Flagg was better to him than sitting behind Freeman?
Maybe they just gave him a boatload more $$?

The portal is NUTS. It was bad enough when he left, would be even worse to play against him next year in a Duke uniform. Bummer

Well the good news is, according to some here, he was a bad defender so we can run our stuff right at him. Have Davis back him down Barkley style.

 

[UpstateSM]

I will literally throw up

 

[Cuse4455]

He could be a critical puzzle piece to take Duke over the top. His defense and versatility will be hard to stop when he's playing along side Cooper Flagg and Co.

 

[Sbucketball]

One of the main reasons Maliq entered the portal is because of the NIL offers his camp was hearing.

 

[Sherman20]

Vomit. The worst nightmare outcome. Only UConn or Gtown would be worse.
