Player Joey Baker

[deepdarkblue]

Does a D1 school even want him? He gets abused every time he’s in the game and he isn’t a net positive on offense.

Keatts should take him at NCState, since he doesn't appear to have any players for next season anyway.

I'm going to play for 3.9 years at Duke and then decide to transfer during my senior season's championship run.

 

[Hammy-O]

I can’t believe he is so bad that he’s unplayable at this point.

I maintain that players without a future playing basketball should use the extra year and go to the sunniest and warmest campus they can find.

Sayonara

Is he legit transferring? Even if you want to do that, why wouldn't you play out the season when you've been there four years and are the 8th man in the midst of a potential championship run?

 

[Grit]

Did K give his girlfriend warts or something?

 

[rome8180]

I forgot it until they said it in the game tonight that he's a captain on this team. Lol at that.

 

[Dukenation12]

Didn’t see a minute in what was maybe his Sr night against Unc…then doesn’t see the floor the entire tourney. Made 3 baskets in the month of March.

Thoughts on Joeys future? Is it at Duke next season or somewhere else…

 

[Devilsforlife]

I won’t miss him one bit if he leaves, which I expect him to. Somehow had a less memorable Duke career than AOC. Didn’t have one signature moment in four years.

I think it’s pretty obvious he’s leaving. Seems like you see this a lot with Duke’s transfers over the years. The guy who suddenly never sees the court again transfers. Not sure if the guy leaves because he doesn’t get to play or if he stops getting to play because the staff knows he’s leaving.

Nothing against him but I hope he leaves to open a scholarship for a transfer portal guy.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Another season!!!

 

[bdotling]

Wonder what happened with his hip. He was supposed to redshirt originally anyway, so glad that first year wasn’t completely wasted

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

Most didn’t expect him back. Interesting.

 

[Rollins]

duke brings back career 37% 3 point shooter. higher than love, black, and rj davis. 1% behind america's heart throb brady manek's career 38%

 

[Pantone287]

Yeah, I think this is pretty good news, if not fortune-changing. If we were getting a wing who'd been in, say, Kansas or Villanova's rotation for the past three years, shot 40.5% this past season, and wanted to spend his fifth year at Duke leading a young team without any minutes expectation, we'd be fairly pumped.

Other irrational reasons for optimism could include:

1. Maybe he fell out of the rotation more due to this injury than being inherently awful
2. Maybe he'll respond to nice guy Scheyer's methods better than abusive fascist K's. His issues have seemed mostly mental.

 

[rome8180]

Well, this solves everything.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

If we get the Keels/Roach backcourt back assume at most we’d be looking at a Theo John type for the front court and that’s really it. Would be in pretty good shape at the 1-3.

 

[rome8180]

Seriously, though, I'll believe he'll actually contribute when I see it. Hopefully Scheyer can get him to take open threes.

 

[Rollins]

his shooting splits are hard to believe because i can't remember him ever making a shot of situational importance.
