The title says it all. After years of Duke getting competitive teams only to lose key players to early entry into the draft or transfer (like losing Henderson and Elliot Williams last year), now Duke will return two of it's top players from it's national championship season!
Still, there will be big questions and the team next year will be very different. Gone will be Jon Scheyer's steady hand at point and his part of the effective 3-prong offense. Also gone will be Zubeck and Thomas, the big muscel down low that often proved to be the difference in games, especially against Baylor.
But...there's a heck of a group coming back. The perimeter will be loaded with Singler and Smith, and with them Dawkins, Ireland and Curry. Down low it will be the Plumlee brothers shouldering the load. Will they be able to play the level of defense we will need? How will the offense run without Scheyer? Where this year they favored a slower, half court game next year I expect they will be an up-and-down, run and gun offense.
Can they win back to back???? I can't wait for next season to find out!
