Josh, Dustin, and Raul chat with Brian Geisinger of 247Sports and the Buzz Beat Podcast about Duke's evolution throughout the season. Topics discussed include:
- Duke's offensive improvements in recent weeks
- Strategies Duke has borrowed from the Boston Celtics
- Sion James in the dunker's spot
- Duke's 3pt volume and number of open looks generated
- Tyrese Proctor as a screener
- Flare screens for Isaiah Evans
- Cooper Flagg in the middle of the lane
- Mason Gillis as a small-ball 5
- Changing pick-and-roll coverages depending on which big man is on the floor
- Gauging how good this Duke team given the competition level
Then they preview the matchup tomorrow with Wake Forest. Why has Wake shot the ball so poorly this year? How can they still be dangerous to Duke despite their offensive struggles? How should Duke attack their hard hedges of the ball screen?
