Paul George said Kyrie’s iconic 2012 slice through Team USA happened because they couldn’t even get the ball past half court. The pressure was so insane with Westbrook, LeBron, Kobe picking up full court. So Kyrie just took it and did his magic.

Yeah, it sucks Nik Khamenia left Duke. But the more I think about it, the more UConn feels like a really good fit for him. His feel for the game is special, and Hurley’s system should let that shine. I guess we’ll find out in November.

If Dusty May leaving Michigan told us anything, it’s this… Elite coaches always have options too. Entering his 5th season as Duke’s head coach, I feel extremely fortunate to have Coach Scheyer (I know he’s not going anywhere, but still). College bball is constantly and rapidly changing, and in a world full of chaos, I definitely don’t take that for granted. 😈

Sion James may never be the face of an NBA franchise… BUT every young team needs someone like him. The guy who shows up, competes his ass off, leads, and does whatever the team needs. You can’t put a number on that kind of value.

💯💯💯💯!!! The easiest “no” to a prospect is talent without character. Absolutely necessary. It’s no coincidence Coach Scheyer keeps bringing in coachable, team-first players to Duke. Give me that over a selfish star every single time.

These 10 returners could be the biggest risers in the 2027 NBA Draft via @cameronsalerno1 @CBSSports 1. Thomas Haugh (Florida) 2. Braylon Mullins (UConn) 3. Billy Richmond III (Arkansas) 4. Alijah Arenas (USC) 5. Patrick Ngongba II (Duke) 6. Milan Momcilovic (Kentucky) 7. Amari Allen (Alabama) 8. Motiejus Krivas (Arizona) 9. Shelton Henderson (Miami) 10. Tounde Yessoufou (St. John’s) No Dame Sarr? 👀👀 If we’re talking about the biggest potential risers in the 2027 NBA Draft, I think he’s got a real case to be on this list.

@PittmanIts good luck to your season 🤝

@DukeEchoes Respect Duke fan base 🤝

Jordan Smith Jr. is a big-time get for Arkansas. I still can’t help but wonder what a Jordan Smith Jr. and Deron Rippey Jr. backcourt would’ve looked like in Durham. That would’ve been electric!! Arkansas fans, enjoy him for the 1 year. He’s SPECIAL

@cameronsalerno1 @CBSSports Where do you project Cayden Boozer as an NBA prospect right now? Thank you for taking the time to reply back. Enjoyed reading your article👍

@DukeEchoes @CBSSports I had Dame Sarr as a first-round pick (No. 26 overall) in my 2027 WTE NBA mock draft. cbssports.com/nba/news/2027-…

@DennisPombier3 Kris Humphries… wow haven’t heard that name in years! Don’t remember much but apparently he just wanted to stay closer to home in Minnesota 🤷🏻‍♂️

@DukeEchoes Kris Humphries was supposed to be in that class as well. I never heard what happened and why he didn’t go to Duke.

I still think about the “what if” of Shaun Livingston at Duke. Livingston. JJ Redick. Shelden Williams. That would’ve been a nightmare to play against 👀

@DukeJay_ Very high probability Duke would’ve cut down the nets with that returning squad and Livingston

@DukeEchoes What if Loul Deng came back for his sophomore?

@Savage90623337 Love that last part! 😂

He knows people are always going to bring up his size. Barely 6 ft, around 160 pounds, 6-3 wingspan. That’s easy to measure. What’s a lot harder to measure is this kid’s heart. I’ll bet on the kid who keeps proving people wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME!

I think people are underselling his defensive ceiling. His 6-9 wingspan gives Isaiah all the tools to become much more than just an elite scorer. Looks great here!

Back then, Jayson Tatum looked like a pro who just happened to be in high school

@BeardedBlueDevl How did we miss that!? Haha

@DukeEchoes Jon Scheyer! Don’t know how that wasn’t one of the firsts

@DukeEchoes What if Luol Deng didn't listen to his Dad and came back for his Sophomore year to play with those guys?
