if someone didn't tell you he was a P5 prospect, you would not have known it from his play.

Agree 100%. He looks like a four-year depth guy. Maybe he will grow / develop and become a guy you don't like to go against, but for now he looks like a practice player who sees limited mop-up duty in OOC blowouts

He was 18 and made what seems to be a bad decision. I think all of us did something similar. There is no glory in demeaning a college athlete.

Jordan Tucker played a total of 6 minutes tonight in a blowout win for Duke and was 0-1 on his only shot attempt which was a 3 pointer. Smh.. should have came to GT.

I don't think he played at all today in a 30 point win.

I'm confused. CJP didn't want to hire assistant coaches who said they liked golf (or STTE) but now he takes the team to Top Golf????

Just making sure no one has a good stroke that’s obviously been practiced

He didn’t want anyone that he hired to play golf outside of work because he thought it was frivolous but took them to TopGolf as a team-building activity

His point was that they were going to be so busy rebuilding the program that they should expect little leisure time. The fact that he phrased this as "no golfers need apply" made people who like to understand non-literal turns of phrase, literally, jump all over him.

Some tidbits ...

- Defensive numbers have been good for all exhibition games including the secret scrimmage vs AUB.
- Scoring will be problem, gotta find guys to make shots.
- Gotta find scoring until Tadric/Josh return.
- Absence is blessing in disguise. Has to play guys who wouldn't normally get minutes, including the FR who'll have to come in and help us win.
- Scoring around the rim is one area Ben needs to improve. Has been patient around the hoop vs Faulk/UCLA.
** CPast hinted that Ben shied away from contact last year.
- He's a stud. Until those guys get back, he's got to really lead us (offensively).

If Ben does want to get to the NBA finishing around the basket is what will make or break his chances.

Okogie with a 2nd round prediction here:

https://theathletic.com/147835/2017...-1-0-marvin-bagley-luka-doncic-deandre-ayton/

51. Washington Wizards: Josh Okogie — 6-4, 214 pounds; Georgia Tech, So.

Okogie was one of the biggest surprises of the freshman class, scoring more than 16 points a game in the ACC. With a 7-foot wingspan, Okogie hit more than 38 percent of his 3s, and he has potential to be a strong defender.
