@BeardedBlueDevl Tyler wasn’t carried by playing with 3 other all-Americans. I could go on, but it’s not as clear cut as you think. Your bias gets in the way.

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@BeardedBlueDevl Laetner isn’t the all time leading scorer in the ACC history or top 10 in rebounds. Laetner isn’t the only player in history to be named a Consensus First-Team All-American and First-Team All-ACC in all four seasons. Laetner didn’t have career averages close to 20/9.

@dombknowing @SeizeTheNae I promise Grant hill and Danny ferry were a bigger scoring threats. Not that Laetner wasn’t ever double teamed, but not nearly to the extent of Hansborough. What’s funny about this back and forth is I never even said TH was better. Just that it was closer than you acknowledged.

@dombknowing @SeizeTheNae I saw it with my own eyes, as did everyone who watched. 👍🏼

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@dombknowing @SeizeTheNae Just use AI. It can help you not look a fool. s, “Tyler Hansbrough frequently faced double and triple teams. Because of his relentless inside scoring, dominant rebounding, and physical style of play, opposing coaches regularly designed defensive schemes to collapse on him”

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@dombknowing @SeizeTheNae You never watched ball? Wow. We need to start at the beginning with this one.

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@dombknowing @SeizeTheNae Zero ball knowledge, eh? Not having all Americans doesn’t mean he was the sole focus or the only option, just means he was double and triple teamed and still performed. Look at the tape. To be clear, 4 ppg (25% more) and 1.5 boards (20%) isn’t “barely.” It’s significantly better.

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@dombknowing @SeizeTheNae Laetner played beside 3 other 1st team all-Americans (Ferry, Hurley, Hill) on his four years at Duke. Hansborough played with no other 1st team All-Americans and still won a title.

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@dombknowing @SeizeTheNae Laetner career avg 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds. Ranks 3rd all-time at Duke in scoring (2,460 points) and total rebounds (1,149). Only player in history to start in 4 consecutive Final Fours, but that could be considered more of a team accomplishment.

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@dombknowing @SeizeTheNae Closer than you think.

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@dombknowing @Belicheckburner Yes.

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@dombknowing @Belicheckburner Won the same number of titles as dook. Literally, you don’t go to the tournament to get to the final four. You go to win a title, anything else is a failure. Period.

@Luke102452 @KeepingItHeel I have never commented on a Duke post. Their obsession is wild.

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@Colttoonnnn That’s my point - darko is to Tatum as Tatum is to MJ

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@BobbyLabonlawy @Jayy_Hardyy252 I’m glad you finally looked it up. 👍🏼

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@Jayy_Hardyy252 @BobbyLabonlawy You have to understand, he thought he was signed with UNC. 😂

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@CollinDunl79294 @Bill_beli_ @MattAblesBurner Luka wasn’t used in the right way. Expect him to look like Cade looked this season after transferring to a coach who knows how to put guys in a position to succeed.

[dan fesperman @df1034]

@DukeJay_ @CLTBlueDevil That’s not the flex it used to be. Especially on an awful team. 14 players did it this year. Bam Adebayu scored 83, Maxey scored 54, Markkkanen scored 51, Reaves scored 51… etc. none of those guys would go number 1 in this draft. Three guys went for 50 twice.
