Am I missing something with Hurt? He's an unathletic PF who can only shoot. What's the difference between him and someone like Mike Daum who went undrafted 2 years ago? Hurt looks like a traditional 4-year college player. If he's not a 1st round prospect, is it worth it for him to enter this year's draft?

A better shooting Jarrod Uthoff but without the defense?

Hurt is Nicolò Melli but went to Duke, so he will be a 10y pro

Duke is prob losing Griffin to the G-League, let's see if they get Keels but it looks like Baldwin is a no-no

Roach-Keels
Steward-Keels
Moore-Baker
Banchero-Brakefield
Williams-Coleman

That seems like best case scenario, their best lineup is almost surely gonna be Roach-Steward-Moore-Baker-Banchero

He is just way more mobile than Daum was, even if he isn't like particularly athletic

Daum has slimmed down in Spain and plays some 3 even, though lol

Is there a reason people here keep saying this about Griffin? Duke 247 seem pretty convinced he's gonna play in college for a year.

Just curious if this is just a gut feeling from you or if you've actually heard things.
