I called it last year, told everyone on here they would have a bad year this year and that it would get worse. All kinds of talk coming out of Durham that McRoberts is leaving for the NBA and that Lance Thomas is transferring, leaving Duke with no big man. Have fun praying the trey is dropping next year, if not look for another down year.
That's a shame. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I love hearing the excuses that they are young.
Not alot of speculation about McRoberts:
Mcroberts
And Lance Thomas wasn't to be the goto big man, that is slotted for Brian Zoubek, but he is gonna have to work his tail off during the offseason and improve quite a bit.
Kyle Singler or Taylor King coming in would also offset Thomas leaving.
Zoubek is terrible, there going to be a three point shooting team from here on out.
I can't see McRoberts being ready for the NBA
I'm a Duke fan and when I heard he was leaving for the NBA, I laughed my butt off. He wasnt even ready for ACC basketball, certainly not ready for the NBA.

He'll do better in the NBA than he did at Duke, imo.
McRoberts wont be that big of a loss....he played well in the ACC and NCAA tournament, but other than that, he had a pretty bad year....didnt average near his potential in points. He was a dissapointment this year and unless he was going to improve alot, he wouldnt have made a big difference next year.I said he would leave for the NBA at the begining of the season when he was playing awful. He is kinda doing the same as Shavlik Randolph, come in expected to play well and be a dissapointment, so leave for the NBA.
I hope Duke fans aren't serious about the thought of Zoubek being an ACC caliber big man.
