Hall of Famer
Duke started an unusual line-up for their season opener, but they played a lot of white athletes for a lot of minutes.
Duke's talented freshmen duo looked impressive in the Blue Devils opener...
Kyle Singler played above the rim on both ends, scoring 15 points on 5-7 from the floor and 5-5 from the line. he also added a game high 3 blocked shots and 8 rebounds.
Taylor King scored a game-high 20 points on 7-9 shooting, including 5-7 from 3-point range. he added 6 boards and 2 blocked shots, as well.
Jon Scheyer came off the bench for some reason, but played the most minutes of any Dukie. he brought his normal, all around excellent game: 13 points on 4-8 shooting, including 3-4 from behind the arc, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 1 blocked shot. and he had ZERO turnovers.
Greg Paulus started, but was relatively quiet. he took just 3 shots but had 5 points and 4 assists, with only 1 turnover in 19 minutes.
sophomore center Brian Zoubek finished with a game-high 9 rebounds, and chipped in 6 points and 3 assists before fouling out.
athletic wing Martynas Pocius, a junior, played with his typical energy. in 12 minutes, he had 10 points and 4 rebounds, although 2 turnovers as well.
Kyle Singler finishes above the rim.
One thing Taylor King can do is finger roll.
Jon Scheyer forcing the turnover.
Marty Pocius is too quick and too athletic to stop without fouling.
Brian Zoubek is fouled to stop a dunk.
