Lets go if this duke team can find a idenity on offense title game for sure cause defense is gonna be 1 of the best prob the best since 2001

[@ronaldsmith8553]

Scheyer should try everything possible to make things really tough on Flagg. It wouldn't hurt him at all to experience some humbling moments. Excited for this team.

[@kohsiudai8196]

Last season none of the guards were capable enough or willingly to go downhill (penetrate pass finish) IMO. With the addition of James (perhaps little bit Kon) I would love to see this 2024 Duke team can show they are capable of doing that and doing well. This 2024 Duke team has all the element to execute well and above (compared to last year). Nothing personal to Coach Scheyer but I heard people said (most likely not a typical Duke fan) if coach Hurley with this team he will absolutely pick Duke to win it all. That's how good this Duke team can be.

i think sion james is the key to this team and the x factor

[@tallcip65]

Proctor and Foster are the best Backcourt duo in the country, Maluach is the best lob threat in the country and Flagg is the most talented player in the country. The 5th starter I think could be James if they want to play Flagg at the 4 or Brown if they want to play big with Flagg at the 3. Either guy would be hugely impactful off the bench. I think Ngomba will play considerable minutes at the 5 as well since most bigs aren’t playing 30+mpg. The other 4 guys, Kon, Harris, Evans and Gillis are going to have to fight for time but they all have something to bring to the table. They can all shoot the ball but I think early in the season Gillis’ experience will get him on the court ahead of the 3 freshmen. Injuries will happen though and they should be ready to step in when needed. The identity of this team will be on defense with their size and length. All they need to do is share the ball on offense and they will be a juggernaut.

[@kohsiudai8196]

Based on limited scrimmage clip and other observations. Among these 4 guys you mentioned (Kon, Harris, Evans and Gillis) I think Evans will be the last one to get the mission. Mason (the most experienced among 4), Kon (can handle PG duty on occasion) Harris (probably the best shooter in 2024 squad). That will be my guess of course things can change. This 2024 Duke team has 4 capable players (Proctor, Foster, James, Kon) can play PG if needed that's a huge plus too.

[@tallcip65]

@@kohsiudai8196 100% agree. I’ve been very impressed with what I’ve seen from Kon handling the ball. Not only in this scrimmage but from some of the footage that’s online from the elite 100 camp. He knows how to make smart basketball plays and he knows how to use his body. And Gillis has the experience, coaches always love to have a guy they know they can trust to go in, hit open shots and not mess anything up. That’s Gillis to a T.
