Yep....Duke will probably be starting Irving, Singler, Curry, Smith and one of the Plumlee brothers.

They are going to be ridiculously deep and talented next year.

They will be able to play big and small next year and as long as Singler comes back, they will have a lot of experienced leadership to go along with the younger players.

Have you seen Seth Curry play? I saw him in person last year, and a few times on TV. I wasn't that impressed. It's easy for him to score in the Big South, especially when his teammates pass him the ball. As an example, the game I was at, Liberty stole the ball late, had a 2 on 0, the guy with the ball stopped under the basket, and waited for Curry to get down the court. Then he handed him the ball so he could get a layup and get 2 more points. From what I saw, Liberty would get him the ball a lot to get his points. Even if that happens at Duke, he will be playing against much tougher competition.

I just don't think he will be a star at Duke, but that remains to be seen. I just think everyone thinks they are getting Steph Curry, but they aren't.

He averaged 20ppg as a freshman.

He can shoot...which is what he will be asked to do at Duke. He will just be another guy at Duke on a loaded team. He also got 4.5 rebounds a game as well..Much like his brother.

I have also heard that he has looked great in practices...Remember, he has been able to practice with Duke and learn their system even if he couldn't play in real games.

Yeah, if Singler comes back, I expect they have a good shot at preseason #1 in the nation ranking - though I think they'll miss the under-appreciated Zoubek.

I agree with those two statements. Practicing with Duke for a year will help his development. Also, I think he will just be another guy at Duke. I don't know if he will be the superstar his brother was.

Yes, Zoubek is going to be missed...But the Plumlee brothers, Kelly and Hairston(an incoming freshman) are all 6'9" or taller...THomas will be missed as well.

But they will still be a big team...but they will be deeper on the perimeter.

And no, Seth Curry likely won't be his brother but he still may be a 15+ ppg scorer in the ACC next year and if they are getting that production from him, to go along with Smith and Singler, the scoring loss of Scheyer won't be felt and Irving will give them a true PG and a guy that can break you down at anytime....Duke lacks that right now with the exception of Nolan Smith.

I completely forgot that Jeff Allen will be back' date=' seems like hes been around forever.[/quote']

We also have a 6'10" transfer from University of Florida, Allen Chaney, who sat on the bench in street clothes this year. I don't know much about him but I have heard he is a "specimen". And yes, Allen will be back, Davila will be a year older, Raines will not be a freshman anymore and perhaps won't miss all fall and then part of the season with injuries. So I expect us to be a lot stronger in the front court next year.

Seriously. Who will go over the back for rebounds and scream unnecessarily to try and convince us all that he's tough? That skill set is tough to replicate.

Its not over the back when you are just way taller and have a bigger wingspan than everyone else. :)

It is when you're way taller, have bigger wingspan, and are still hanging all over their back...which happens a lot when you can't jump.;)

Forget Chris Rock; there should be a sitcom called "Everyone hates Zoubek" - about the gawky awkward 7 footer in the typical middle school. I got ideas for the episode where his teammates tease him about his efforts to learn the crossover dribble. He accidentally breaks the cute cheerleader's arm, and everybody yells, Zoubek!!! He gives a good-natured embarrassed shrug and sheepish smile.

And in one episode, he can't join his teammates in "floor slapping" because he can't bend at the waist...so they all laugh at him.

Tough end to the season, Lucious just hit a big shot and Michigan State got tons of offensive rebounds and threes. Too bad because I think we would be right where Michigan State is today. Oh well. I was real angry/sad for a few days we should've won that game.

Gregory, Padgett, and of course Williams are all gonna have to be big next year. It will be interesting to see how Bowie and Tucker do starting, which I am guessing is gonna happen along with Mosley. Mychal Parker, Terrell Stoglin, Pe'Shon Howard, and Ashton Pankey better be ready to play, because they are gonna have to hit some shots. I hope we recruit another C/PF I see some PF kid from Baltimore named Jonathan Graham is considering us.

I am hoping Bowie can up his game next year, I've seen flashes throughout his career. Same wit Tucker. Looking forward to seeing Parker and Stoglin I hope they are the real deal. Is Goins ever going to play? We shall see.

Hmm, Graham seems to be just another version of Pankey and Padgett - except less athletic and maybe a little craftier. I'm not sure there's much benefit in getting him, but maybe they think he can add some inside offense.

      The problem with that last statement is that this indeed is a business. And guys want to get paid and be fairly compensated. They all recognize that they have a short window to make life changing money.

      Are we done?

      I haven’t looked at his innings closely but I could see McDermott being tried as a reliever late in the season.

      By DrinkinWithFermi · Posted

      McDermott is probably not there to preserve his image as a starter to potential trade partners, and if he is still here on July 31st, I'd expect to see him in our pen shortly. I do still want another solid RP, also preferably a lefty, and Sam Moll would fit the bill perfectly without breaking the bank.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By jdwilde1 · Posted

      I agree, with the caveat that Santander is a different animal than Hays and Mullins.  Santander plays every day and is having a career year going into FA.  It’s really the situation that every player wants. Meanwhile, Hays and Mullins are platooning after being every day players, and are having poor seasons.     I am sure Hays thought he had earned the right to play through his rough start, but it always doesn’t work out that way.    The thing I really want to see is what the O’s off-season looks like with Rubenstein’s ownership compared to JA.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      It’s a fair trade.  We needed another late inning reliever and Pache helps with late inning defense.     Pache is an abysmal hitter though so hopefully he doesn’t get too many starts or late at bats.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      It feels like a stretch to me that players being in Norfolk is hurting the vibes on the Major League team.  If those players come up, they will take jobs or playing time from current players.   Obviously, if there is a perception that we’re playing service time games instead of fielding our best players, then that could hurt morale.  However, I’m skeptical that current players are outraged that Mountcastle/O’Hearn/Westburg are playing over Mayo right now in the same way that some fans may be. Goon references veteran players in contract years - I’m pretty sure that’s only Santander and Burnes who are not feeling any competition from young players and both made the all-star team. With regard to long term extensions, it seems a bit silly to say young players want long term extensions but are being blocked by their agents and this is hurting morale. Boras has never inked an extension for a player with less than two years service time like Gunnar or Westy. Adley and his GF are from the Pacific Northwest- maybe they want to eventually be closer to home.  GRod, Cowser, and Kjerstad may be viewed as more risky candidates for an extension by Elias.  It’s not clear to me that Goon’s column represents any actual reporting as opposed to pure speculation.
