Duke fan for life here and I know this isn't gonna ever get to Coack K or
any real players eyes BUT I have a serious beef with this year so far.....
Why in the H E L L is Grayson Allen not getting more playing time??? He
plays hard D when he gets on the court and shows energy and passion doesn't
make the stupid turnover but is playing next to nothing over the last few
games. WHAT GIVES ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Someone please help me out here.
We have ta understand the situation. He is not one and done. Probably he will play four year and get a degree just like a good man would do. He has time. He has to enjoy the chance to run with future all stars. We need players like this. So far i like what i see from him, ha can dominate under competitions, but first things first, let the big ones get the minutes and build their draft stock position up. Ya feelin me?
+Lorenshyneyeah I know. I guess he's just getting acclimated to the game still. And Coach Kidd is still experimenting whether he should play the 3 or 4. But he's still leading all rookies in scoring so that's pretty good.
+mjjorgey23 That doesn't make much sense imo. Jabari is much more of a perimeter threat than Amile, allowing more space on the offensive end, not clogging it up. We don't have much depth at the PF spot. So instead of having to play small with Justise at the 4, had Jabari stayed, Justise would stay at the 3. We'd have all the advantages of going small without actually being small. Had Jabari stayed, this Duke team would've been significantly better and harder to defend. No way around that.
I love Jabari and have played against him a lot over the years, but the team we've got now is all we need. Plenty of depth out on the perimeter, and good size downlow built around Jah. This is the best overall team since 2010, in my opinion, because they know how to share the ball and can rely on anyone on any night to score. Unlike last year, where they had to rely on Jabari and Rodney a bit too much. If we had Jabari this year, the offensive end just would've felt too clogged up.
