Duke's King chooses Villanova

Three-point specialist (and defensive liability) Taylor King has decided to attend Villanova after earlier transferring from Duke. He'll have to sit out a year before playing, but that's good news for King. By then Shane Clark and Dante Cunningham will have graduated, freeing up more playing time for the 6'6" forward who also considered USC and Gonzaga before pulling the trigger on Jay Wright's scholarship offer.

"I asked blunt questions, but I wanted everything they offered. They laid down their game plan for me and I couldn't resist." Presumably Jay's game plan includes shooting recklessly deep three-pointers. Gotta love the deep ball.

D-Man, this guy is horrible, take my word, you guys aren't gaining anything but 10 3-pointers per season

LOL!

You would, Dewey.

And you would, too, TC. Like Duke isn't composed entirely of guys who go hot and cold on the 3.

The three-pointer is great, but I agree with fr0arenas about the aggressiveness of the Big East posing a problem for King.

Boring! His style of play won't fit there. The BIG EAST is aggressive. Something he isn't.

This guy is going to be a bust for 'Nova, just like he was for Duke. He's too much of a softie. And what's up with guys transferring out of Duke recently. Jamal Boykin left for Cal, King for 'Nova, and Josh McRoberts left for the NBA because he couldn't hack it there anymore.

You guys are accusing a Freshman of being soft, lacking D and shooting wild 3's??? Sounds like 95% of freshmen every year. By the time he gets back on the court in two years he'll be a much different ball player.

They better get a big man or 2 or this kid will have a hand in his face at all times. Also they might need somebody to stop the Dajuan Grizzly Blair.
