Looking cute, feeling cute.
Was there ever any doubt?

Okafor deserves to go number one in the draft, so there's that. Um, Winslow kicked at players in the Elite Eight, uh, did you know that Coach K a thousand wins this year, uh, Kentucky lost? They're probably going to lose their entire starting roster and still have more All-Americans on their team than entire conferences. Syracuse is going to be dead in the future for awhile. The Big 12 apparently secretly sucked, but maybe they'll be good next year. Big 10 sent a team to the title game despite being generally shrugged about all year, just like in football, but with different championship results. Bill Walton owns. Chris Weber owns. Everyone else kinda sucks.

Get ready for next years star Duke product, Matthewson Plumlee or whatever, bet you didn't know about him.

Bo Ryan's petulant bitching about the refs just proved how in over his head he was that game. You're playing Duke in a goddamn meaningful game and you don't know how things are going to go in that aspect? :cmon:

It's funny seeing Ryan call out the one-and-done when he can't even get the kids that stick around under him to graduate on anything resembling a decent rate(Duke is way, way better). I guess having dullards that stick around for 4 years is OK though.

Duke is annoying but this is actually one of the most tolerable Duke teams I can remember. The fans are still insufferable but I don't actually dislike any of the players this year except Plumlee 3.0 just by default.

I love watching Okafor and Winslow. If they don't go 1-2 in the draft, the GMs of those teams should be fired.

I'm using a little hyperbole, but yeah those two will be there also. I mean so much can happen between now and the draft. But I just look at guys like Winslow and Okafor and I see more potential than when I watch russell just based on their size and agility. Winslow is 225 at 6'6". Winslow is probably already a decent 2 way player in the NBA, while I can't wait to see Okafor mature physically and his game get added to. I just view those two as the highest ceiling. I wouldn't dismiss if you had Russell or Towns as the eventual best player out of this draft.

My favorite part of his gigantic poo poo fit after the game was him acting self-righteous about not having "rent a players" even though the only reason he doesn't get those guys is because he's not good enough at recruiting to do it, not because he's taking some stand against it. He went hard after Diamond Stone (who will likely be a Top 10 pick next year) this year and recruited Kevon Looney last year.

Bo Ryan is a huge rear end in a top hat and a baby. His teams have also benefited as much as anyone from Big Ten officials looking the other way and swallowing their whistles on contact in the backcourt so gently caress him.

Winslow is not even remotely in the discussion for that, nor should he be. He'll go like 5th at the absolute highest, and I think even that is overrating him. He was not nearly as good on the season as a whole as he was in the tournament and his offensive game is seriously unpolished.


Eh, it will for pretty much all of them. The twins are the only ones who aren't at least in the first round discussion, and Aaron's the only one likely to go undrafted. Towns is probably the current favorite for the top pick and would go 3rd at the absolute latest. WCS is a lottery lock. Booker is a definitely 1st rounder and possible late lottery pick. Lyles is pretty close to a first round lock unless he bombs workouts/testing (a possibility because he's not super athletic, but he's supposed to look crazy skilled in practices). Johnson would defintiely go in the second and could sneak into the back half of the first. And someone would give Andrew Harrison a look in the 2nd because he's a 6'6" dude who nominally plays PG.

That dude is going to be the most hated player in college basketball by next year at the absolute latest unless he's completely terrible. White dude named Grayson with the haircut of a Republican Senator? Did anyone else even bother recruiting him? I don't think he's even a real person, I think Duke built him in a lab.

Hopefully Tyus Jones leaves early, but his stock tops out at late first so I kinda doubt it.

Nah, Ryan is way worse. Izzo can be irritating but he wouldn't have pulled the poo poo after the game that Bo did, if only because he's a lot more media savy (which I suppose is what happens when you make a deep tournament run EVERY GODDAMN YEAR NO MATTER HOW BAD YOUR TEAM IS WHAT THE gently caress).
