Clearly the Duke studs were studs, but saying that Zion anad Barrett can get 30 on any given night, and that Zion is a better athlete than LeBron is ridiculous.  I'd say at this rate they're on their way to being great players but the NBA is a different beast than college.  This game is WAAAAY different if Duke doesn't hit their first 6 shots and Kentucky doesn't start 1 for 5ish.  Once Duke had that early lead they could play loose and without pressure, and Kentucky was playing panicked and scared.

People calling Zion an instagram athlete musn't have watched the game.  More impressive than the 11-13 was the passes he was making.  The guy is clearly a good play maker and if the NBA keeps trending towards a positionless game, he will benefit greatly.

It will be interesting to see how these guys play when they are actually in a close game and have to go get a bucket to stay in a game.  I wonder if they will all be so selfless or if egos will get in the way.  Likely will happen when they lose their annual game to NC State/BC.

Also  Duke's bench.  Never seen so many kids running their mouth while doing nothing.
