Player Javin DeLaurier

[CMon85]

He has so much potential to be a truly elite defender. If he can just stay out of foul trouble and give us 5-6pts a game he'd have a great shot to start next year.

That one sequence where he allowed us to burn a full extra minute of clock with his offensive rebounds was beautiful. He also saved us from giving up several open layups.

Yup. If he didn't have hands of stone, he would have had 20 rebounds today, too. Very good overall game for him today.

I thought he was brilliant. Played quite a few minutes with 3 fouls, I think - and managed not to pick up the crucial 4th while maintaining his aggressiveness.

Really great to see him contribute in this manner.

Really great to have a couple vets doing so well in the paint.

Javin and Bolden are captains next year.

 

[sjsj2448]

Javin's BPM is 11.7, which is 2nd on the entire team.

2nd in BLK% among rotation players.

3rd in TRB% among rotation players.

Tied with WC Jr. for best DRtg among rotation players

Fouls come back to haunt him once again. Effort level is certainly not lacking, but he needs to take it down a notch when trying to make a play on O.

 

[CMon85]

What sucks is that half of them tonight were really dumb fouls he could have easily avoided.

 

[bdotling]

He was great in the first half for the most part

Agree torontoling. Good job picking up tduke's slack caused by his not watching the first half.

 

[torontoduke]

Hey - I had a class tonight. I otherwise would have Duked the fuck up and watched the first 20.

 

[DukeNukem05]

Javin is rather vocal on D. There were a few sequences where I watched him keep Trevon in line.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Defense is great, rebounding is great. Can't finish shit.

 

[torontoduke]

Bringing some much needed hustle.

But yes - really having trouble finishing @ the rim.

It's crazy how similar these dudes are. Same
Body type and build, height, weight, etc. Very similar career arch their first two seasons. Lee didn't stick it out at U.K. And I hope Jav does.

Could easily see a solid 6-7pts, 6-7rebs and 1.5blks next year. Senior season a little less than what Lee is giving since he plays on a worse team. 10, 8 and 2 is realistic though.

 

[physicsfactor]

Need to get this guy more open looks from 3!

 

[deepdarkblue]

I'm not sure why he got those early, fleeting minutes. It was an interesting moment.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

I was wrong to believe Javin would progress like a normal player. I wonder what he practices. Jumping?

 

[bdotling]

He’s the most tragic offensive player I have ever seen but we also shouldn’t be playing him outside of the post

 

[DurhamSon]

I wonder if he has the highest TO/Touches ratio in the history of duke basketball for any non-walkon.
