Player Patrick Tape

UNC is big and deep and can wear us down and foul us out. If Williams is not ready he could get 3 fouls in 5 minutes. We need Tape for those games. Johnson is good but he's a small forward.

Defined positions are self-constructed obstacles to pleasure.

If Johnson plays 1 mpg as a SF at Duke, K really has lost his damn mind.

I agree, but you know it will happen at some point. Conclusion, K really has lost his damn mind.

Roach-Johnson-Coleman-Tape-Willams. Lacks size at the point guard spot, but other than that what's not to love?

Sounds too harsh to me for what's mostly a semantics question. If a backcourt of Johnson-Steward-Moore sounds okay to you with Hurt and a big, I think having Johnson, Steward and Roach together would work too, even if in the second lineup it's easiest to call Johnson a SF. He and Roach can trade off initiating the offense. I'd say in either of those lineups, Johnson should probably be guarding the small forward. I expect Roach, Goldwire, Moore, and even Steward to be better at guarding actual guards than Johnson is.

That sounds terrible but would be par for the course with Duke putting so many non-shooters out there together the last couple of seasons.

 

[childress22]

Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I think having Steward and Hurt on the floor together would still be far better than the 2019 or 2020 seasons shooting-wise. Low bar, but still.

The Tape pickup is very important. I don't expect to him play in every game, but having another big body is crucial.

Too bad Duke won't kick Tape to the curb like he did them so they could go after the kid from Oklahoma State that announced he's leaving. Seems he'd be a better fit for a year.

I don't want to see Patrick Tape post-ups this year, especially coming out of face-ups.

 

[rome8180]

Watching Tape's highlights again and liking what I see but also thinking about how nothing he does here will happen in Duke's offense. Rolling finishes out of the pick and roll. Good slip screen action. Some nice passes to cutters out of the high post. Etc.

I want to see his hi low entry to Williams.

It's not a post-up, just a spin move on a drive. It's Garrison Brooks shit. I don't think it's that terrible that he's practicing this along with his face-up jumper.

Maybe if he was chopping his feet?

 

[niveklaen]

wait - is that Scheyer guarding him? I thought Tape was supposed to be a big man - he looks no taller than Scheyer in that clip.
