| Comments
This is a bit bizarre: Lance Stephenson is down to Arizona, which doesn't seem to want him very much, and Maryland, which he had previously ruled out. He's going to announce after his sexual assault case on June 29th so that, according to his dad, he can commit without ...

The Andrew Giuliani case against Duke
appears headed for the bin: a judge has recommended dismissal, and worked in some Caddyshack references. We don't care about the case, but that alone should get him a raise.

DukeBasketballReport.com
| Comments
Andrew Jones is up to team #12 in his list of the 31 best ACC teams, and it's Virginia '82. It's hard to remember now just how impressive he was: at 7-4, he was agile, athletic, and a really imposing basketball talent. When he took on Mike Gminski as a ...

DukeBasketballReport.com
| Comments
Mike Gminski isn't really breaking new ground when he says that Gerald Henderson is a big loss for Duke. That's pretty obvious. The question is how Duke deals with it. There are some interesting options, and a lot of flexibility in some ways, although with...

Coach K has been selected for the West Point Hall of Fame (this is sports - he won't be in with Omar Bradley and George S. Patton).

May 20, 2009 by
DukeBasketballReport.com
| Comments
Andrew Jones has UNC '93 as his #13 ACC team all-time and that might even be a bit low. That team was unbelievably well put together, and distilled Dean Smith's lessons about basketball into a form that everyone, even Duke fans, had to admire. They were great - no question ...

Is it too late to back out of the draft? What a terrible fate for Blake Griffin - the hopeless Clippers won the lottery and the right to draft Griffin. What a terrible thing to have happen. That team is a black hole of hoops.

| Comments
John Wall said Tuesday he'll be attending Kentucky, and honestly we think that might be for the best.
We don't have anything against him; in fact, we're reasonably sure that Duke pursued him so ardently because they found him to be a good kid.
