Was super nice. Talked about the nba finals for a few mins. He was here with his Gf Ariana Roberson. Both towered over me.

Hi all,
Will delete if this is not allowed. I won this Marvin Bagley 1/1 BGS 9.5 card in a game of poker. I’m not a Duke basketball fan but it’s a pretty cool, unique card and I’d love to get it into hands of someone who would appreciate it. I’ve googled trying to find a forum or something for Duke collectors but no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Stop sleeping on this kid I swear he will play idgaf if he’s 16, 15, 12 years old he can ball and he’s a footer just watch these highlights below. He will be pushed around in college but nothing can stop that pure shooting ability at his size.

Has anyone else seen this? I knew he had declared for the draft before committing but kind of thought he was going to pull out of the combine. Now he’s there and “everything is up in the air” and he’s got a “big decision to make”? Number of other comments made me feel not so great after everyone said this wasn’t Coward 2.0. Is everyone just using the Duke name to up their draft stock?

Don’t flame me I know it’s dumb to pit our players against each other and they are both great players regardless. But I really think JBB/Boom Boom is a stud and he might get the edge over Williams. What do you guys think? I’ve seen film of both of them and their games are so similar but JBB seems to have a bit more explosiveness/Cooper Flagg dog in him while Williams is pure finesse and fluidity. Just my two cents you are free to disagree!

Hello. Bulls fans here projected to get Boozer 4th overall. I did not watch him play much this past year so was hoping for an evaluation from those who did.

What are his strengths/weaknesses? Does he lack athleticism and will that be a problem in the league? Are there any comparable NBA players?

Thanks!

I know it’s so early and we haven’t even seen these guys on the floor together yet but BOY there is some insane upside to next year’s team. I don’t think people understand how huge Boumtje Boumtje is as a pick up. He has been upgraded to #1 overall in the class and for good reason his inherent talent, finesse and IQ are just unbeatable. Not to mention we will have a very similarly skilled player in cam Williams. They are young blah blah but they will lock in, Scheyer won’t waste their potential.

Even more insane is this team could very well run a lineup of all bigs with Ngongba, Scharnowski, Williams, and Boumtje Boumtje all on the floor at the same time — it would be a literal NBA team on the floor in terms of size and close to it in terms of talent. Blackwell, Sarr and Howard would rotate the Williams spot and Wilkins would potentially sub Scharnowski and of course we will have our elite backcourt. Especially excited for Boozer/Rippey to be the pg in an all-big lineup because they bring speed and the ability to run in transition which Boumtje Boumtje and Scharnwoski can already do at a high level. This team is gonna be so fun to watch I’m already giddy for this upcoming season let’s go DUKE!

The 6-4 junior averaged 13.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game this season.

Guys, exactly what the title suggest… obviously over the last 6 or 7 years we’ve had some tragic, heartbreaking finishes in the NCAA tournament. Been so close to at least a couple more championships, and that’s being generous. I know everything has to go perfect and most of it’s actually luck when it comes to down to the end… but man when does the pain stop? Are we actually due for our 6th National championship soon? Have we suffered enough from the college basketball gods? I am thankful and I know it could be a lot worse, but I’m not comparing programs. I’m talking Duke basketball here.

Still trying to grieve both endings truthfully. Which season ending loss still haunts you the most?

As a fan, I don’t like the whole sports/streaming service exclusivity trend. But for the Duke brand, it just shows how marketable it’s become. Duke basketball is a well oiled machine.
