You know your good when your eighth man and bench man was Grayson Allen and he is now averaging over 20 points a game and is a potential first round pick. But in all seriousness, this Duke team was strong. They took eight players and won a National Championship.
It all started with floor general Tyus Jones. Jones basketball IQ was exceptional and he may be the greatest passer the Blue Devils have ever witnessed. The other two freshman who had “somewhat” of an impact was Justise Winslow and Jahlil Okafor.
Okafor was extremely hard to stop in the post and Winslow could guard all five positions while being a versatile scorer. This Duke team lost to just three teams the whole year, and with more chemistry, it’s a wonder what they could’ve done with those freshman turning into sophomores.
One day fans will look back and realize how dominant this Duke team actually was.
