Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5338948, member: 1268"] Just when I think this board has gone all to hell, HS swoops in and keeps it on the rails with alternate access. An interesting mention: [HEADING=1]No. 15 Nik Khamenia, Duke[/HEADING] [B]Expected role[/B]: Frontcourt rotation [B]Burning college question[/B]: How much [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/players/26887892/alex-karaban/'][B]Alex Karaban[/B][/URL][B] [/B]tape has Khamenia watched? OK, maybe it's not the perfect comp, but Khamenia tape gives off a ton of Karaban vibes. The 6-8, 215-pound forward can pass, dribble, shoot and defend. He's smart, doesn't need the ball to be an asset and his teams tend to just win ballgames. That's no coincidence. The size, skill, and winning intangibles will help him get on the floor, even for a Duke coaching staff that has to find minutes in the front line for Cam Boozer, Pat Ngongba and Maliq Brown. I think Khamenia can comfortably shift to the 3, if [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/players/50014472/dame-sarr/']Dame Sarr[/URL] (more on him in a minute) isn't up to snuff on that particular night. Khamenia's minutes may fluctuate from game to game, based on the matchup and who is healthy, but he checks off the boxes as a connect-the-dots role player who will pick up this scheme quickly. Jon Scheyer should have plenty of fun using Khamenia's shooting, passing and cutting to bend defenses. I'd be stunned if he doesn't play plenty. They included Sarr in this list - already some talk over in Dukie-land of him not starting, he's not adjusting as hoped in early practices. [/QUOTE]
