Duke basketball is R.J Barrett and Zion Williamson. When one of them gets hurt, we see a different result clearly.
Duke will be perfectly fine after last nights lost if Zion Williamson returns from his minor injury. They are evaluating him today to get answers. Some say they think he should sit out for the rest of the season which is beyond silly. Duke will be okay because one of their leaders was out during the game, you cannot judge a team based on they played when one of their key players are out. Now last night a few players did not do good at all, which is basketball we all have bad games. Duke shot from 35% in field goals, behind terrible. This is the worst I've seen them do all season, but I do believe they will still be okay. Most people think Duke looked pretty bad last night, when they really did not. Of course they lost by 16, but not from just a nobody! They lost to a rival, a rival who is having a pretty good season. Duke looked okay last night, they did what pretty much happened all season, Cam Reddish stepped up last night, he has good games every other game just about, and of course R.J Barrett, a future NBA superstar stepped up, these two combined for 60 out of Duke's 72 points. What if Zion Williamson didn't get hurt? There's a good chance this game would of been blown out by Duke! This happens everyday in Basketball, once the teams key superstar gets hurt, there's a good chance they will lose that game. Look at earlier this season when Curry got hurt for a little bit, Warriors were losing a lot of games early! Duke has been known really just for R.J Barrett and Zion Williamson carrying the team, and when one of them got hurt, we got the expected result, a loss. Of course for Duke to win a Championship game, the whole team will have to be successful on a daily basis, not just 3 players or 2. This is why I don't think they looked bad at all, the same thing happened every game this season, Duke's main stars stepped up, just one got hurt early and wasn't there to help carry the load. |

Depending on how severe his injury actually is I would definitely debate on sitting out and focusing on healing it before the next level. I understand having a love for the game but if your not fully healed and hurt yourself more or in a different spot could certainly affect your position in the draft. I mean you ain't making shit in college so to just go out there and risk injury when in a year or two you will probably be in the league if not sooner. I'm not saying he shouldn't play college ball again but if he ain't fully healed or don't feel comfortable I wouldn't go out there, you already proved yourself in high school and in college because most people only seen your highlight dunks which are amazing but your overall game is up there with the best. I wish nothing but the best of luck to this young man and his career.

Well to begin, its RJ Barrett, not JT. JT Barrett played football at Ohio State.
I believe they're going to be fine come ACC Tournament time. I don't expect Zion to play in the North Carolina game @ North Carolina here in the next 2 weeks. The other 2 from their monster big 3 stepped up big time. Tre Jones couldn't hit a thing last night when he needed to step up, the same goes for Jack White. They lost every bit of focus once Zion came out of the game. Zion was also supposed to be matched up against Luke Maye, and he scored all night long. They didn't have anyone else who could guard him like Zion was supposed to. Overall, I do believe they're going to be fine. They just need to make sure Zion takes care of himself and prepare for a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. If healthy and everyone is firing on all cylinders, I don't see anyone beating them in the Tournament. |

| Don't forget about Cam Reddish. He plays a huge part in Duke Basketball. He'll go Top 5 in the draft for sure. Duke is a 3-man team with Zion, R.J or Cam that team would be the worst in the league. They'll be fine in the upcoming games they're playing. I'm confident that RJ and Cam will hold it down. |
