Watching Boozer play is so weird because it doesn’t look like he’s doing anything special and he ends up with 30 and 10 in a win.
His game is like pure fundamentals.

Yup, unspectacular but super efficient and a winner. He's always in the right place. Like his dad, already looks like a grown man at 18.
It'll be hard for them to be better than last year as they were generally the best team most of the year and lost in the F4 in a game they had in the bag.
They'll be very good - have very high upside as they have 5 stars across their roster, and Dame is considered a potential lottery pick. Little Boozer will probably be getting most of the minutes at PG by end of year (Foster is meh), so their roster will likely have a first round pick at just about every position (Ngongba, Boozer, Dame, Evans, Boozer). I'm still not a believer in Scheyer, but that is a team that should get better as the year advances.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up better. Flagg for all his talent seemed to not be able to get it done in big games scoring wise when it mattered. Especially towards the end of games moreso than point totals.
His defense was generational, I don’t think Duke will necessarily have defensive problems with the talent they have and Boozer may be more capable of carrying a load offensively and being that guy down the stretch.
It depends on whether scheyer can actually coach an offense. Flagg bailed him out for most of last year against a putrid ACC, but in several big games, they proved they had no consistent other ideas.

Looking at the Duke v UCF exhibition box score, the FTA discrepancy was UConn-esq. 13-3 in first half, 23-4 in the second half. I did not see the game, but Boozer's inside game may have justified it, and I am sure the officiating was ACC good, LOL.

Purdue looked incredibly mediocre in their loss to Kentucky.

I thought KY looked solid. A bunch of good basketball players that played good defense, rebounded, got out in transition and shared the ball. No one blows you away, but when they get JQ back and when Oweh gets rolling I could see them as a top 5 team.
I'm gonna go ahead and say it, just like I said after one or two games that Reed was our best player, this Peterson kid whom I've only watched play twice last year as a high-school senior, looked like he was the best player in college basketball and he hasn't played a college game yet. Yet I'm hearing his name very little. He's REALLY good.

Whoever does the best job on Carr Monday.
If it’s Ross, coaches got to make it a point to tell him to stop acting like a female dog on offense.
You don't need excuses for an exhibition anyways. It literally doesn't count.

Plenty talking about him. He’s pegged top pick and some comparing him to Kobe.
It will be Ross’ chance.

You're not looking in the right places, before DraftExpress departed ESPN they put him as the projected #1 pick in the '26 draft and many have pegged him as a better guard prospect than both Antman and Cunningham.

Unfortunately we have a guy who locked him down* but he just sprained his ankle.
* for one possession in an all star game - but it happened

Mullins isn’t locking anyone down at his weight. For that KU game Ross and/or Silas are the best bets.

I’ve been enjoying these not-so-secret scrimmages but it’s hilarious the number of overreactions already. UK fans are already claiming themselves national champions. People are saying Purdue are frauds. Dybantsa is the next LeBron. Louisville frauds. Etc.

They don’t mean everything, but they do mean something. If they happened 2 weeks from now that changes what about what you saw? It valid for UK fans to walk away from that game thinking they can win a national championship
