Should I know anything about RJ Barrett? Literally never heard of him before toronto started this thread. Is it because he's Canadian?
I wouldn't scoff at that frontcourt at all. Just worried that Javin won't stay after he sees all the minutes go to Bagley this year.
We will, however, need some depth even if Javin and Vrank are here.
Considering we have Jones now committed in 2018, I think Barrett might be the recruit I've wanted most at Duke in quite some time. Barrett is excellent, and knowing that he'll have a very good point guard makes me want him even more. And some people may scoff at this front court, but an experienced front court of DeLaurier/Vrankovic to go with Tre Jones, and Barrett on the wing, would have me very excited.
We would have an elite pg that can defend decent, drive and finish well, and has a high IQ and will have a good A/T ratio, an elite wing, potentially the first pick in the draft playing in a system in which talented wings flourish, and two veteran big men who will provide defense, hustle, rebounding and rim protection. I'm sure we will find shooting in possibly Garland, and O'Connell and Tucker off of the bench.
I would be very excited about that team. I would prefer to add another 2/3 capable of defending and hitting open threes, but it's not a big deal, and we've won with two small guards before. Don't care at that point if Reddish commits.
I don't think wanting Barrett AND Reddish is wishful thinking, but I'm the optimist on the board. Haha.

They're mutually exclusive and Duke, sadly, is too far deep with Reddish. I want Barrett more than any non-Stones recruit but we're probably not going to get him.

This is not what the 247 guys have said.
