Duke Basketball Roundup
DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

So in both Bell and Camden, you have guys who have good size on paper, but in practice seem to be really shoehorned into the role of floor spacers and shooters.

The last guy who's always relevant is the center in the opposition, you know, is Duke fans.

We've got size.

We want to see whether the opposition can match up with Cam Boozer and Pat Gong.

DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

But Lee Dort is the one guy who you might recognize from watching Cal last year.

DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

He's their one returner who played minutes for them last year.

DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

He was more of a bench, you know, backup big.

DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

Now he's their primary center this year.

Duke Basketball Roundup
DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

He's 6'10", 235.

DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

He's playing 60% of their minutes, so he's getting good run.

And he's one of the best rebounders in the country by all the advanced metrics.

He's especially on the defensive end.

He is going to gobble up those defensive rebounds.

DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

It is going to be very difficult for Cam Boozer to get those give-me-that-ball, nice, easy put-back type of points that we've grown to see from him.

He's also a solid rim protector.

DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

He's the type of guy who's going to get a few blocks over the course of a game.

Duke Basketball Roundup
DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

But he's a very, very low-usage offensive player.

Duke Basketball Roundup
DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

He does not shoot threes, and by does not shoot threes, I mean he has never attempted a three in his college career, not even a Marshall Plumlee three as of yet.

DBR Bites #133 - California, Here We Come!

So this is a guy who is going to take the easy buckets if they come by him.

Otherwise, he's going to sit there and get rebounds and fulfill that job as a traditional big.
