I'm excited for Duke to play an actual basketball team at some point. (They look pretty amazing)
I was worried about Colorado State for a minute, I have them going pretty far.

He's a 3rd or 4th option for them. It's really hard to me imagine him as anything more than a role player based on the way he was used there.
On one hand, that team is full of shot/dribble happy guys and that's all they do. I think it is easy to imagine him doing more on a different team where he's not often the 2nd biggest guy on the court for them. He's definitely an unselfish player by nature, cannot say the same for the other guys on his team. On the other hand, if he was much better than he has shown he'd probably get more shots/possessions than he is. 9/10 times the reason a guy doesn't do a certain thing or doesn't do a lot of it is because he's not good enough.
I've been saying that VJ is most likely a Suggs type for awhile now and I still find that to be true. But I still think he has quite a bit of potential if he can improve his ball handling. If he can do that his game will improve immensely. I think he's actually quite good as a passer, though he's not as shifty as you would like around the hoop. There are many guys where "if he can shoot" they would be stars, I think VJ is that type of guy but it mostly comes down to improvement in his ball handling.
It would be interesting to see how often a non-high usage guy turns into a big time offensive player in the league. Off the top of my head I think I can name SGA, Booker, Mitchell, Haliburton, Herro, and Maxey as guys who had relatively low usage (compared to stars) and had bigger roles in the NBA.
The biggest takeaway from this Duke game is that Evans looks pretty bad.
I like Ngonba for Duke.

Ok it is official...I don't want anything to do with Queen. He doesn't always give good effort. I honestly saw plays where his team avoided passing him the ball. Nope not going to do it.

He nearly died due to a heart condition and had to miss 16 months. Before that I think he had a string of injuries.
