March 5, 201511 yr ...at Duke? They all could start for Duke. However are you saying if these UK players with the current Duke players who would start with the style Coach K plays? I would say 2 definitely would start and that would be Towns and even though he doesn't start here at UK I think Booker would start. I think Tyus Jones, Booker, Okafor and Towns would be 4 of the starters and the 5th starter is where I would be stuck at.
March 5, 201511 yr 2 KAT and WCS I don't think Coach K would start WCS, I think he would start Okafor over him because he has a better offensive game.
March 5, 201511 yr Without question, 2 would. I think you could make a legit argument for anywhere from 2-3 others.
March 5, 201511 yr I don't think Coach K would start WCS, I think he would start Okafor over him because he has a better offensive game. So only 1 UK player could start?
March 5, 201511 yr I don't think Coach K would start WCS, I think he would start Okafor over him because he has a better offensive game. Why couldn't u start them both? Okafor is so bad on D that WCS could make up for that.

Don't look at it like well if Towns was there, then WCS wouldn't start because they'd start Okafor and Towns over him. Take each player individually and give them a yes or no based on what Duke currently has starting. I'd say WCS and KAT without question. I think the argument can be made for Lyles, Booker, or Harrison #2 .
March 5, 201511 yr Straight comparison: PG - Andrew Harrison vs. Tyus Jones SG - Aaron Harrison vs. Quinn Cook SF - Trey Lyles vs. Justise Winslow PF - Karl Anthony Towns vs. Amile Jefferson C - Willie Cauley-Stein vs. Jahlil Okafor (Positions are traditional, although you wouldn't have to pick one from each position. No non-starters are used) I'd go with... -Tyus Jones (tough call, but Jones percentages are all slightly better and I like his pace better) -Aaron Harrison (another tough call) -Trey Lyles (his size creates matchup problems for everyone and his ability to score inside and outside is better) -Karl Anthony Towns (the easiest choice of all five) -Jahlil Okafor (his ability down low would allow both Lyles and Towns to play inside and outside; his lack of defense is a knock, though)
March 5, 201511 yr I have to think Okefor, Winslow and Jones would continue to start. I'm not sure what 2 UK players but I lean towards WCS and Booker.
March 5, 201511 yr Honestly, Okafor is locked started. Tyus Jones I would personally chose. Justise Winslow could be a toss up, he's a personal favorite of mine. Quinn Cook you could make a case for, but he's been playing out of his mind here lately. Amile Jefferson, yeah 0 doubt about it. The depth of UK is what makes them so strong. I would love for a little more depth at Duke, especially in the front court.
March 5, 201511 yr I'm amending mine....3 without question. Towns, Willie, and Lyles would all start at the 4 for Duke.

Like I said in previous post, the way Cook has been playing over the past 10 games he's killing it, though Harrison's size would be an advantage there. I won't lie and say I've seen Lyles that much but Winslow would be a tough one to sit there. He has same match up problems you speak of with Lyles.

Best part about this question is you can't go wrong. I took Harrison over Cook because of his size, considering I took Jones over Andrew. And like you, I took Lyles over Winslow because I've seen him more.
March 5, 201511 yr T. Jones Q. Cook J. Winslow K. Towns J. Okafor That would be the starting lineup. Lyles over Winslow is something I could see happening. I can't see anything else though. These are how I think Coach K would set the lineup. Since it is at Duke it would be his call. I see it going like that.
