Duke Basketball Roundup

The Duke social media team has been hard at work lately and their latest offering is 10-minutes of highly edited video of a scrimmage from a recent practice. It is tough to read too much from these videos where 95% of the missed shots and turnovers are hidden from view, but the DBR Podcast gang gives it a shot. But, before that happens, the guys have to talk about Baylor officially being added to the non-conference schedule. There are 4 big time games on the schedule now. Is that the right number?

The Duke Basketball Roundup was in the house as Duke revealed a little bit of itself to the media this week. We heard from Flip, Ryan, Mark, and Jeremy... as well as from Coach Scheyer. And, as an added bonus, we got to watch as the team ran through some drills. Among the biggest takeaways, we really like the way Jai Lucas coaches these guys. Plus, after the break we talk a bit about the ACC's new broadcast deal with the CW Network. It may seem small time, but this could be an important step in the conference keeping up with the rest of the P5 conferences. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Duke Basketball Roundup celebrates the newest member of the Duke coaching staff, former player Will Avery. We have been talking about Will working hard the past several years to finish up his Duke undergrad degree and he is now using that degree to teach basketball to the Duke team. The DBR podcast gang breaks down Will's unlikely path back to Durham and what he brings to the table as an assistant coach.And, after the break, we do a deep dive into what happened at the elite EYBL Peach Jam this weekend. Future Dukies Isaiah Evans and Darren Harris both led their teams in impressive fashion, boosting their "recruiting stock" in the process. But everyone was talking about class of 2025 recruits Cameron and Cayden Boozer and Cooper Flagg. The podcast's Jason Evans watched numerous games over the weekend and has plenty to tell us about these guys who we (hope) to someday see in a Duke uniform. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Duke Basketball Roundup has a slew of stuff for you on this day. After the intros (in which we debate a huge travel decision facing Jason) the guys dive right in to the NBA Draft. They look at where Dereck Lively and Dariq Whitehead ended up and if those teams need them now or will bring the newest Dukies in the NBA along slowly. After a commercial break, the podcast gang laments the departure of Amile Jefferson, headed from the Duke bench to the NBA's Boston Celtics, and they take some guesses at who might be the next assistant coach in Durham. Lastly, Paolo Banchero has been added to the USA Basketball roster for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, a move that no one saw coming because Paolo had indicated he planned to play for Italy instead.  Learn more about your ad choices.

ESPN draft analyst and Duke legend Jay Bilas joins the Duke Basketball Roundup for a pair of episodes to look at the draft prospects of a pair of Dukies this year. In part 1, Jay talks to us about Dariq Whitehead and how he can stand out among a whole lot of mid-sized wings who are hoping to go in the middle of the first round of the NBA draft on Thursday. And while we have Jay joining us, we could not resist talking about the decisions by Flip, Proctor, Mitchell, and Roach to reject the siren song of the NBA and come back to Duke for another season. Jay breaks down what went into those decisions and what it means for Duke going forward.By the way, there will be more Bilas coming to your podcast feed very soon. Later this week, he will join the DBR podcast team to break down Dereck Lively's draft prospects and also talk about the huge hype happening around Victor Wembanyama.

Wojo got a job, Duke is targeting a new big man in the high school ranks, but the main topic on this episode of the Duke Basketball Roundup is sophomores. Next year, Duke will be counting on 3 sophs (Flip, Mitchell, and Proctor) to help lead the team to the promised land of another Final Four (or Natty?!?!). The notion of stud sophomores is not something Duke fans have seen very often in the one-and-done era. So, the DBR Podcast's Jason Evans went back over the history books to find the 10 best Sophomore Seasons in Duke history (since the mid-1970s). It is a list full of great memories and the podcast gang knows you all will enjoy it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
