Giles been injured at Duke

Lmao yo you just contradicted yourself..the premise of the our discussion was coach K, and why blue chippers would be dumb to turn down playing for him or calapari and a few others if their ultimate goal is to be one and down and optimize those months in college..Memphis might not be a blue...

Exactly. Ja had more exposure which equals hype along with the chance to play around other blue chips he would’ve gone number 1 imo. Even over Zion if they hypothetically swapped situations

So basically your mad the kid didn’t choose to play basketball at a non basketball ACC school..tbh if I had a son who had real NBA potential and a chance to play for coach K and optimize his potential..if beat his *** if he didn’t choose Duke..let’s be real
