i guess by this year you mean 2007/08 because he's a highschool senior in the fall, he's an interesting prospect, the ucla and the unc crowd dog him pretty good for differant but obvious reasons, i caught him in a game last year in seattle against a very good local team and he looked very good. he's been ranked anywhere from the top 10 to the top 30 by differant recuiting experts so it remains to be seen just what they are getting in durham, when he eventually gets there.

CC, we go through this every two months. The conversation goes something like this...

But that's ok. I don't mind you talking about Duke players.

Funny you should mention him. I watched a game of his just yesterday. Click here - http://www.cstv.com/cstv/programming/abcd/

He plays for the 76ers. He played all right. I wasn't highly impressed. Hopefully it was just a bad game.

He reminds me a lot of Trajon Langdon.

TM · 07-10-2006, 07:24 PM

he's 6-7, 195, left-handed, and white. how in the world does he remind you of Trajan?

Cameron Crazy · 07-10-2006, 07:26 PM

Yeah, sorry Tm thanks for the vid i watched it on CSTV when they played it was cool to watch him and im looking forward to seeing him play for the Devils!

I mean just based on their outside shooting ability.

Cameron Crazy · 07-10-2006, 07:36 PM

how in the world does Coach K expect King to defend 4's?

Cameron Crazy · 07-10-2006, 07:49 PM

Heck if i no!

TM · 07-10-2006, 07:49 PM

Come to Duke, play the three....

That is Coach K's motto

Cameron Crazy · 07-11-2006, 10:14 AM

Yeah...Exactly!

He'll have time to learn to defend the four position.

Depending on who Duke brings in, King may not get significant PT until his soph/junior year.

He'll have to battle with:
6'7" Jamal Boykin (junior)
6'6" Dave McClure (redshirt junior)
6'8" Lance Thomas (sophmore)

and possibly one of:
6'8"(?) Kyle Singler
6'8" Patrick Patterson

for time at the 3 or 4 position.

McClure, Thomas, and Singler are all will play the 3 or 4 position while Jamal Boykin and Patterson would be 4's in Duke's system.

Besides Singler, most of the players he'll compete with are defenders/rebounders/glue guys. In the guard rotation, Duke will be full of slashers and with the exception of Jon Scheyer and maybe Nolan Smith, perimter shooting is not a strength of anyone on this team. This team needs at least one long range bomber and I expect that to be King's role his first 2 or 3 years.

jaimedun, you probably know more about Duke than me. But I thought Scheyer was touted as the next long range threat in that system.
