If Mike Krzyzewski’s final Duke team does not win the national title, college basketball fans will quickly identify the reason why. They will say this was a classic case of youth being wasted on th…
, given that Duke’s players faced as much pressure to give Coach K his proper Cameron Indoor Stadium sendoff as any college basketball team has ever faced in a regular-season game.
Freshmen Paolo Banchero and AJ Griffin are certain to be top-10 picks in June’s NBA draft. Classmate Trevor Keels and sophomore Mark Williams are also expected to go in the first round. Wendell Moore Jr. still has a shot to make it a first-round Fab Five. So yes, something to change this weekend here in Greenville. For one, Duke has to start playing better defense, something that was a focal point during some spirited pre-tournament practices. “This week was more of reaffirming our good habits,” Krzyzewski said Thursday.For two, Banchero needs to be ultra-aggressive 24/7, and avoid the 10- and 15-minute disappearing acts that popped up here and there in the regular season.
The negatives? Griffin has taken only 45 free throws in 34 games, and at times needs to find different ways to impact the game.
