Coach K spoke to the media on Tuesday about his team and the impressive collection of talent that Duke has.
The main takeaway: this is a team that should compete for the national championship and that will be coached accordingly - hence the lack of worry over Harry Giles and his knees.
The N&O’s Luke DeCock thinks Duke will initially start Amile Jefferson, Marques Bolden, Jayson Tatum, Grayson Allen and Frank Jackson, with Matt Jones, Luke Kennard and Derrick Jeter as the main guys off the bench.
Giles is an extraordinary talent though, not least of all on defense, and when he’s ready, he’ll make a huge impact.
