What are your predictions this year?

Duke has a TON of potential. This is arguably Coach K's best incoming Frosh class since the 90's. They are very athletic and gifted. Finally a rim protector in Okafor. Justise will be better than you think. Tyus Jones is a true PG ready to play. They all looked great over the summer. Grayson Allen is also better than advertised. Duke has a deep bench of shooters with Cook returning as a ball distributor and Amile Jefferson as a rebounding machine. And a more mature Sulaimon make for a whole bunch of potential. That said, TEAM DEFENSE is the key to this team's success. I'm hoping we see them start to get it by ACC play. Last year was a big disappointment IMHO with Parker and Hood fizzling out in the opening round of NCAA play. Last year's team never had size or a defense that could stop anyone. But all the pieces are there now. And maybe Plumlee, Ojeleye, and Matt Jones got better and are ready to contribute. They have plenty of scorers and shooters again. But they had better play a better game of defense than last season or it won't mean squat come NCAA play.
