Duke Basketball Junkies

Devin joins the podcast live from Las Vegas where we just witnessed Zion and RJ's NBA Summer League Debuts. We talk about what it was like to see Zion in person, the statement that he made around the league, the earthquake that ended the game and the earthquake that was Kawhi/Paul George revelations that ended a wild and memorable day in the NBA. We then discuss who left the squad, the draft, their landing spots, who is coming back, and all the new recruits. And then surprisingly, we finish out the pod with some Pixar comps for Zion and Coach K.

What happened in the loss, how we feel about the season, and much much more in this tournament and season recap. We try to make sense of the loss, size up the season as a whole, how the team progressed (or didn't) and the wave of Coach K criticism that's out there in the national media. We talk about Cam's mystery injury, Zion's legacy, and ask some what-if questions as we think about how to process this pretty unique year of Duke Basketball.
