    he dominates smaller players, when playing bigger players he struggles. he'll be facing bigger players in the NBA so that will be a big adjustment for him. I hope the Knicks get Towns

    I think all three will be good pros. I really like Russell too. Seems like a "poor man's" Kobe Bryant type to me.

    I just think if the Knicks have the opportunity to take one of the big men they should do it. Especially in the short term with Carmelo chucking it up so much. Plenty of opportunities for put backs and with the defense spreading out to cover Anthony a big man underneath could find room to take advantage all game.

    Only difference in terms of the comparison (And I agree they have the same edge when they play) is that Russell is a great passer, he makes sick moves sort of like Steph Curry

    refs did not stink both ways

    every blown call in the second half favored Duke

    that's often how it goes in their games. Guess it's just a coincidence.

    Three different out of bounds calls they got wrong and every one went Duke's way.

    south carolina is in the "next four out." they got a lot of work to do between now and March of 2016 or they might find themselves on the outside looking in

    I never understood why so many people worship Coach K. He's the same thing as Calipari over in Kentucky, but at least Cal is honest about when he is doing, Coach K comes off as a slick POS, like a used car salesman who turns back the odometer. I love how all the hacks on ESPN always give him on air blow jobs. Its disgusting. I hope and pray that for the sake of college basketball, that a scandal akin to what happened at Southern Methodist back in the 1980's comes out and take Duke down for good and it takes them over 30 years to recover. That shit school with their rat face coach pretty much ruined the sport and are why CBB is so bad today.

    he's not the same as Cal, I respect Cal more b/c he is open. K is a phony and has ruined college basketball.

    Thats what I was trying to go for. Cal is honest about using 1 and done while K pretends that he doesnt use it and is honorable.

    wrongly becoming the face of USA basketball has really helped K too. a trained monkey could coach those teams to gold. once the players were all in and committed the coach didn't matter and he pretends like he saved USA basketball.

    Theres nothing wrong with coaches or players using the 1 and done system that is available to them. I know Nebraska is behind the times of the rest of America in practically everything though, so I get why you don't understand.

    it took a respected guy like Coach K to get the players all in and committed.

    not really, Colangelo is the one who did all the work but K gets all the credit.
