Listen Later

Josh, Dustin, and Raul start the episode by discussing Duke's recent open practice. Raul was in attendance and gives his observations on the three eight-minute scrimmages Duke played. They discuss the battle for starting point guard between Cayden Boozer and Caleb Foster, the improvements of Darren Harris, and how the offense looked different from last year now that Duke's best weapons are in the frontcourt.

After that, they dive into the frontcourt itself, taking an in-depth look at the trio of Cameron Boozer, Patrick Ngongba, and Maliq Brown. Topics discussed include:

  • Cameron Boozer's winning pedigree
  • Whether comparing Cameron Boozer to Paolo Banchero is accurate, and how the two players differ
  • What an expanded role for Patrick Ngongba might look like
  • How Boozer and Ngongba will function together defensively
  • Patrick Ngongba showcasing a new pick-and-pop game
  • How injuries derailed Maliq Brown's season
  • Why Brown might be best in an off-the-bench role
  • The need for Brown to be more aggressive as a scorer
  • Whether this is the best passing frontcourt in DMBB history, and how that will shape the offense
  • They also pick over/unders for each player including rebounds per game for Boozer, assists per game for Ngongba, and steals per game for Brown.
