Sexton could be better, for sure. He is a great PG.

As for Jackson, he was never expected to be a point guard in the classic sense. He was expected to be a guy who could come off the bench and get 10-12 points, initiate offense and get some assists. He succeeded in all of those things, but unfortunately, for the second straight year, we had a PG with a delusional father who forced his hand into making a stupid decision.

Last year was a disaster except for the non conference schedule and ACC tournament. However, there are a ton of reasons for it. I'd start with the fact that Harry Giles is completely done as a basketball player, when the media and fans expected a top 5 recruit. PG play was an issue, but I wouldn't even put it in the top 5 reasons for failure.

I think next year's team will be bad by Duke standards. Maybe 22-23 wins before the tournament. Bolden was terrible last year, and this year's recruiting class is considered pretty weak on a national level, so I don't know how much our guys will be able to help.

Ultimately, we are starting 3 freshmen, a guy who looked awful every moment last year, and Grayson Allen, with a bench that consists of two top 60 recruits in a bad class, 3 guys who couldn't get minutes last year, and the lowest ranked recruit in the last 30 years, so I am definitely not optimistic after last year's shitshow.

However, I hope everyone will be back in 2018 except Carter, Duval, and Allen.
