March 6, 201511 yr None of them, they can't play defense. Cal has shown us time and time again that if you don't play defense, you don't play.
March 7, 201511 yr Towns would definately play over Okafor to close out games. Okafor isn't even close defensivley and is a liability on offense as you can "Hack a Shaq" as he shoots 52% from the line while Towns is 79%.
March 7, 201511 yr Everybody has their opinions on Okahfor and his defense, or lack thereof. However, to me, I almost see it as K telling him to be very conservative on D to prevent fouling. Let's be honest here, outside of him, Duke has NOBODY to play in the post. He gets in foul trouble and Duke is in trouble.
March 7, 201511 yr Okafor definitely starts. I'm coming around to Justice Winslow over Poythress (but see the case for each). Winslow is going to be a lottery pick and it just depends on the kind of lineup you use him in. For me, I'd like more consistency from him. Kind of wonder if he has that DeAndre Liggins or MKG "stand on your throat" mentality though. Sometimes it's just not in dudes. I don't agree with Tyus Jones. You put Tyus Jones and Aaron Harrison in the lineup together? Nah, you start Andrew and Aaron. Maybe Jones in a lineup where he's the 1, Booker is the 2, Winslow/Lyles is the 3, WCS/Towns is the 4, Okafor is the 5, then maybe there's a case for him. Still don't think he's considerably (if at all) better than Andrew Harrison and Tyler Ulis can be just as solid of a floor general/game manager at your #2 PG spot as anyone. I haven't been impressed with Jones.

I haven't been impressed with Jones. I wish I had seen this post before tonight. Had I seen it I'd have said that if Tyus Jones hasn't impressed you then you aren't paying attention. He's been the most clutch freshman PG at Duke since Bobby Hurley. Tyus has shown up in every big game this year and did so again against UNC tonight. ONLY Duke player to average 20 points and 7 assists against UNC in their first two games against UNC. Jones is a beast.
