Easily in my top 5 favorite Duke players ever.

Amazing

It's amazing how many people think Carey is a slow, plodding center who can't shoot. It's like they watched tape of Okafor last year instead of Carey. I'm not saying he's got Bam's mobility or Porzingis's jump shot, but there's some really lazy analysis around him.

Oddly, the fact that this isn't a recruiting tool makes it a great recruiting tool.

Perky Plumlee is berating his wife as we speak, telling her to get cancer so the Plumlees can get their own video.

(If only there were a Terrible Person thread where I could put posts like this one.)

Remember when he dropped 33 against UK and we thought we had a Kobe/Shaq pairing for a season to look forward to?

 

[rome8180]

I believe Cam also dropped 20+ in that game and looked competent.

 

[best4heisman]

This guy makes $2.5 million dollars a year.

 

[rome8180]

He'll end up far more financially secure than some guys who earned 50 times as much for their careers.

Reminds me of how Kawhi Leonard supposedly drove a Kia for the first several years of his career. Someone asked him about it and he shrugged and said "It's paid off and it works."

To each their own, but I dig that mentality. Gordon Lightfoot owns a house in the richest neighborhood in Toronto and drives something equivalent to a K-car.

Great article about how Bobby Hurley coaches his point guards. Stroll down memory lane included.

Bobby Hurley and how to play point guard for college basketball's most decorated point guard ever

Arizona State's Remy Martin is the latest in a long line of star point guards mentored by the NCAA's all-time assists leader. It's a coach-player dynamic like no other.

Quinn Cook avoids poverty for another year.

 

[best4heisman]

Definitely Danny Ainge's ideal center.

 

[bdotling]

Definitely Danny Ainge's ideal center.

The brotherhood helping a brother out

Wasn't Amile one of those Plan B recruits that Duke kept on a string while they waited to get rejected by their Plan A? Like Cook and Kabongo? I love Amile, he was great.

 

[aiw]

Yeah. Tony Porker, right?

 

[aiw]

And Monroe McNairy

 

[deepdarkblue]

Yeah. Tony Porker, right?

Yeahhh, that fat, useless piece of shit. My God, we've been so lucky with these rejections.

The biggest downfall with Duke is that we've started landing all the fake good players we were lucky to miss on before.
