Scott Rich

He didn't accidentally make a backcourt.

I think it was sort of borderline whether he was in the frontcourt or not on that play.

He slowed himself down.

He wasn't getting pressured.

He surveyed and he found Malik.

That was something that, again, you know, the highlight was the hustle.

The highlight was the defense.

That's something that Damesar is the only player in college basketball who's going to make that play.

But the fact that he finished the play by getting it to the right guy to attack the rim in a fast break, that to me is the evolution of Damesar that this Duke team needs to achieve its ceiling.

God, this... The answer, you know, 24 hours ago was an easy Caleb Foster because of how amazing he was against the little, but then we saw that dud.

I think the answer is Isaiah Evans.

I think that Isaiah Evans had back-to-back against ranked opponents, games of the first-round pick Isaiah Evans, the Robin the Cam Boozer's Batman Isaiah Evans that this Duke team needed.

And if that's the Isaiah Evans we see for the next three months, we're going to be playing basketball for more in the next three months.

That was something to me.

Again, Cam Boozer dominates the stat sheet every darn week.

Cam Boozer could win this award every darn week.

But Isaiah Evans took a step forward this week.

Again, when Duke needed him in two back-to-back games against ranked opponents.

Lest we forget, SMU is a ranked opponent.

For all this hand-wringing we're doing...
