Is it too late to start tanking?

Haha.  I think I'd trade our entire starting lineup outside of Tatum for him.  Not because it's necessarily the best thing for the franchise, but because I'd love to watch him grow up in green.

He's been 18 for two weeks now.

And just because:



My son with Cooper this summer.

Awesome! That must have been a really cool experience for him.

Hopefully Cooper lives up to the hype when he gets to the NBA. At least we already know he can hang with top level players based on Olympics training

As good as that one was, I felt the other one was more impressive...he took his defender off the dribble at the three point line and basically took him to the rim for a dunk. It was Giannisesque.

It was.  He was on the local news scoring a layup, too, so it pretty much made his year.  Both of my kids got to go; my daughter spent more time in Ace's group, but they both got to meet each of them, get pictures, etc.  Plus, they each got one of his very first autographs.

It was through an organization called ProCamps.  Before signing them up, I checked the reviews, and it seemed like they were somewhat mixed.  I think a lot of that probably depends on the individual athlete's demands, but in this case both the camp and the Flagg brothers were absolute class acts.

That?s awesome, Roy. What a great memory that will be for you all. In regards to Flagg living up to the hype, I think he will be a star. I feel like his floor is Gordon Hayward, but Flagg is a better athlete and seems to have more of a killer instinct than Gordo did. Would be nice if Cooper?s ceiling turns out to be Tatum.  :D

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Wow I didn't realize your son was 6' 9"!  :laugh:

That's so awesome though, what an experience!  :)

Cooper Flagg was dominant against Notre Dame today. Finished with 42pts, 6rebs, 7ast. He set a record for Duke, scoring the most point by a freshmen in a game. Cooper is also the first player since 2006 (JJ Reddick) to score 40pts in a game.

Dang.  I missed that.  I don't think many would have predicted him dropping 40 this early.

Apparently it's not only a Duke freshman record, but an ACC freshman record.

I wasn?t home for the first half, but was able to catch the second. Flagg was calling for the ball, which was great to see. He is a fierce competitor and I can?t wait to see him in the NBA. Might have to splurge and sign up for League Pass next season.  :D

Duke is playing Boston College tomorrow at Chestnut Hill. Cheapest seat is $132 before fees.  :-X

Also, apparently the whole Duke team is at the Celtics game tonight.

I think it's also because Banchero and Tatum are playing (former Dukies)

Great timing all around
