Duke Rules & Candlebox Sucks
This years Duke team is tough to figure out. I know how good the top 3 are ( Scheyer , Smith & Singler ), but the sophs & froshs are mysteries to me. The only plays they run for those guys are lobs, mainly to a Plumlee , except for the threes that Andre Dawkins (who looks like he's 14) makes more often than not. They have flashes of brilliance, but also look lost out there. Since the Dukies have 4 guys who split time at the 4 & 5, they have been playing more aggressively , which makes them all better. Good thing too because it has taken Zoubek 4 years not to suck. Their team defence can be stifling, as seen in the UConn , Gonzaga & now Clemson games, all ranked teams, so eat that Duke haters. And when the hell did Nolan Smith get so good? He looks nothing like the guy last year who got benched in favor of Paulus . Unless he completely explodes into an all- ACC guy he'll be back next year, which is also my wish for Singler . That Kyle comes back with next...
