I mean, Isaiah Evans hasn't shot it well the last five or six games for him.
But, you know, obviously he's a really capable shooter and he takes up so much of the opponent's energy to try to make sure they stay with him.
So he's not a player that they want to help off of.
and you know john puts them in good situations where you know he uses cam to to screen for him or isaiah set a screen for cam and then you know kind of slip out of it like they did against florida to get essentially the game-winning shot at the end of that where he knocked that three down um
I think it's not like there's any one person that they can go to beyond those, but they do such a good job of spreading the floor.
And because both Evans and Boozer command so much defensive attention, other guys get open shots, and it's just a matter of hitting.
But their best playmakers are their big guys.
I think both Boozer and I think you could argue Pat Gumba, they're their best passers.
And so you got a team that you kind of run through their big guys.
They're not a high assist.
You know, like it's not like similar to Carolina.
It's not like their point guard is their leading assist guy.
And if he does lead them in certain games, it's, you know, with four or five because Boozer has been been their top assist guy overall.
And, and that's unusual to have a, have your big guy that's, that's leading you that way.
But Duke's guard, it's similar to Carolina.
Like Duke's guards are good, but they're not, it's not the most dynamic backcourt that Duke has ever had.
Similar to what I said about North Carolina, but that's not a, it's not a knock on them.
They can really play.
And I think the,
To me, one of the most impressive things is the timeliness of play.
