Duke Basketball Roundup

We’re back with DBR Bites #113, where we had plans to continue our discussion of some news items...until breaking news came down. Donald and Jason begin their discussion with the report from a few days ago that power conferences had agreed to a deal that would allow for the clearinghouse created by the House settlement to proceed with approving more deals by NIL collectives. However, a few minutes into that discussion, news broke of a new order that would turn that agreement on its head. We react to the breaking news and what it could mean for the whirlwind that is the NIL marketplace. After the break (and a chance to collect our breath), we get into some new rules changes by the ACC that are meant to curtail court/field storming and the influence of gambling in the game. We end with a fun exercise on college football programs and their perceived valuations if they were pro teams. Stick around to see where Duke end up on that list. Make sure you’re following us!

Lots of little stuff makes for a packed episode of DBR Bites. Jason and Donald begin by talking about two very exciting exhibitions Duke will play in this October as the team prepares for the regular season. After that, the guys dive into a beloved member of the Brotherhood who has joined the ever expanding rank of Duke head coaches at the college level. And, in the back half of the episode, the guys take us on a trip to the Nike Peach Jam to break down some of the big names who could be the first high-profile members of the Duke freshman class of 2026.

We asked and you answered. We put you in control and this is what you did. Today Jason and Donald present the final episode of our look at the Duke Fan Survey that we launched about a month ago. Our final batch of questions have to do with NIL, One and Done, and the Transfer Portal. Have these seismic changes to college basketball changed how you feel about the sport? If you would change them, what would you change? Do you think Duke's strategy for success during these turbulent times is right or would you build the roster differently? The answers... plus all of your general comments when we allowed you to just write whatever you want... on the latest edition of the pod. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

We are back with DBR Bites #111 as we have some small news to cover before we get to our summer overanalysis of short video clips! Donald and Jason quickly go though a couple of news items, beginning with Cooper Flagg. After dropping 31 points in a Summer League game, the Dallas Mavericks decided to shut him down for the rest of the summer. It’s not a bad thing at all, and we discuss why it’s okay that he’s getting some rest. We also recap the latest episode of The Brotherhood Podcast, where Nik Khamenia was the featured guest. After the break, Duke Men’s Basketball dropped some video highlights from a scrimmage they had over the weekend, and it’s time to overanalyze it. We probably spent way too much time on the 3.5 minute video, but we’re happy to break down what we saw as we get more video on how this Duke team is coming together. Make sure you’re following us!

Episode 738 is here, and after we get to some Duke updates, we begin our review of the results from the DBR Podcast Basketball Fan Survey! First, Donald and Jason discuss Justin Robinson getting a player development job with the Los Angeles Lakers, followed up by Kara Lawson leading Team USA to gold at the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup. Both are big time accomplishments and we celebrate their success. We wrap up the news portion of the pod by highlighting Nik Khamenia’s finish at the U-19 World Cup. After the break, we start to review the results from our Duke Basketball Fan Survey that over 1300 people filled out! We will be breaking up the results into a few episodes, and on this one we deal with the fan questions. How long have most DBR Podcast listeners been a fan? Which team is the most popular of all time? Which Duke players are considered the fan favorites? We break down those results for you all and we tell you how we answered the questions!

As we approach the July 4th holiday there are plenty of fireworks involving the multi-million dollar contracts being signed by Dukies in the NBA. The Duke Basketball Roundup dives into where some of our favorites Duke players are headed and what their roles will be like on their new teams. But, this episode begins with a look at Nik Khamenia playing for Team USA over at FIBA U19 World Cup. The podcast gang breaks down how he is doing and what it could say about his role on the team next season. We also have some news about how the Duke women are getting a little extra scratch in the form of a NIL tournament. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The NBA Draft is in the books, and we celebrate Sion James and Tyrese Proctor hearing their names called in the 2nd round on Episode 737! Sion James made a surprise leap into the first 3 picks of the second round, and he’ll join Kon Knueppel on the Charlotte Hornets. Tyrese Proctor had to wait a bit longer, but the Cleveland Cavaliers selected him with the 49th pick. Donald and Jason talk a bit about how they will fit with their teams and the fact that both are set up to potentially receive guaranteed multi-year deals. After the break, we get into some general thoughts on the NBA Draft and how to make it a bit better and more exciting and thought provoking. We also congratulate a member of The Brotherhood for winning a title overseas. If you haven’t filled out our DBR fan survey, take some time to do it today!

We heard it three times in the top ten of the NBA Draft... Adam Silver uttering the words "...from Duke University." Cooper Flagg, Kon Kneuppel, and Khaman Maluach live their dreams and heard their names called at the top of the 2025 NBA Draft. The Duke Basketball Roundup breaks down what the moment meant to each of these beloved Dukies and how they fit in their new NBA homes. Of note, each of them head to teams that are already loaded with members of the Brotherhood, which should make the transition just a little bit easier. After the break we dive into some other fun stuff including the outfits worn by the NBA draftees and word of a couple cool scheduling items for the 2025-26 Blue Devils that will provide interesting chances to see the team in Cameron.

For the final preview of the NBA Draft, the Duke Basketball Roundup and Jay Bilas dive into Cooper Flagg, widely heralded as perhaps the most complete college player to enter the draft in decades. We don't get into a discussion of whether he will go #1, that is a foregone conclusion, but we do dive into whether Dallas should even begin to consider trading the pick for an established NBA superstar. After the break, is he Kon 2.0? The podcast looks at Nik Khamenia's summer plans -- which include playing for a very impressive Team USA at the U19 World Cup and (perhaps) building buzz the way a certain overlooked Duke freshman did around this time a year ago.
