Yea, he's a starter


I thought earlier in the year Thornton started. Oh well. Anyway, yeah. I can't wait to see him develop.

Plumlee, Hairston, and Jefferson will be fine for defense/rebounding if they have Cook, Sulaimon, Hood, and Parker on the perimeter.

Curry played great today. This team is balanced, and still room to grow with Murphy, Jefferson, and hopefully Plumlee coming along.

Only thing Kelly and curry have over hood and Parker is experience. Those two are scary good and are both lottery type talents imo

Yes, earlier in the year Thornton(PG) started... over Cook(PG). Sulaimon has started and played the bulk to the minutes at SF this year.

Is the younger Plumlee any good?

He hasn't plated at all this year. I saw him in high school and he was just a raw, energy type big man.

Got buckets off put backs and fast break dunks.

Coach K said he's the 6th best player on the team. Legitimate seven footer but he's a 10 minute per game role player.

You know Coach K loves his role players.

Kelly probably wasn't as good as the younger plumlee and he's made it to starter. I used to cringe when he got the game cause he was just awkward.

Good energy guy, plays good defense..good to have an experienced player to come off the bench and hound another team's players relentlessly. As a starter...definitely not

Well Plumlee was a 5 star recruit... Kelly was pretty touted himself. I do agree he looks and is pretty damn awkward. He saw time sooner because he could stretch the floor. Plumlee was blocked by his brother and Thomas who was one of coach's favorites.

Forgot about Zoubek too.

"Duke is going to win the national championship this year. This is the deepest, most athletic team K has had since the early 2000s.

Two areas they've lacked lately."

Have you seen Indiana play?

In general its ridiculous to say Team X will win the championship. How often does the 'favorite' win it all? March Madness is too unpredictable.

Having said that, Duke and Indiana look to be the two most complete teams in CBB
