- Cayden Boozer as Duke's first pure point guard since Tre Jones
- The value of having a high-level decision maker late in games
- Questions surrounding his jump shot, both with the form and volume of attempts
- Isaiah Evans' historic combination of 3pt volume and accuracy
- The need for Evans to diversify his game by upping his rim attempts and increasing his assist rate
- How Evans can play off a frontcourt full of excellent playmakers
They also do over/unders for each player and give each player a skill from one of the other two that will best maximize their game. Lastly, they touch on Nik Khamenia's solid showing with Team USA's U19 team, helping lead them to a gold medal in a key bench role.
