Obi or Plum? High school isn’t college. It’s been an amazing past month for the Duke basketball program. There’s so many options he has but to say Allen is more suitable coming off bench is as bad as saying Plumlee is horrible. I agree with every position except for Center. But hey, to each its own. But if Jeter impresses Krzyzewski and the rest of the coaching staff during the preseason, he could easily earn this role on the team. Allen showcased his talent on the biggest stage at the end of his freshman season, as he sparked the Blue Devils' second-half run against the Wisconsin Badgers. The depth at the 2-guard spot is where Duke will be able to flex its muscles next year. C Plumlee – we saw what we looked like two years ago with Jefferson as the C and don’t see that happening again. That is exactly what Amile Jefferson's role will be when the 2015-16 season opens up in November. Kentucky is only team that has had 10 players. PG Thornton The Blue Devils were led by 36th year head coach and Hall of Fame member Mike Krzyzewski. Don’t get me wrong, I love Matt Jones, but he is a defensive specialist. These forums are a bunch of Duke fans giving their opinions. Matt Jones and Jeter are projected to start on the bench in this lineup, but they have the talent to start if everything goes right in the preseason. Duke Basketball: Predicting the 2015-16 Starting Lineup, Jamison Crowder Drafted by the Washington Redskins in Fourth Round, Why Frank Jackson is a Unique 2016 Recruiting Target for Duke, https://dukereport.com/duke-basketball/duke-basketball-predicting-the-2015-16-starting-lineup/daldridge/#4uH3vkld6xOoowCv.99. As for Jeter, he has potential to be a force in the frontcourt once he adapts to the next level. As long as David and Jim write articles and you continue to post your comments I’ll always know there’s someone out there that knows less about Duke than I do. During his playing days, David perfected his role on his basketball team as being the guy who would hold everyone on the bench back after a teammate would make a clutch shot. If you haven’t figured it out by now we are all speculating on the starting five. While Kennard shot the ball well in the McDonald’s AA game, he also showed his inability to score against elite athleticism. Jones has shown a knack for finding significant minutes in Coach K’s rotation. He once played N.C. State legend David Thompson in a game of H-O-R-S-E. David won. It’s what some people do when they know the other person is smarter than them: completely get off subject and divert from issue. He talks every week with his cousin Frazier Crane. It’s been an amazing past month for the Duke basketball program. The objective is to put your best 5 out there as fits your team. He’s got some solid post moves and he’s athletic, which gives the Blue Devils a great option when they want to push the pace. Sean Obi – Forward – RSo., 6’9”, 270 lbs. Obi & Jeter will easily take his minutes as the year goes on, and quickly. Obi will be starting at the 5.. Jefferson will be a starter all season.. You probably know more than me. Otherwise, I agree completely with your assessment. Josh Hairston was also a high school All-American. Since the 2015-16 Duke starting lineup will look different from the side that went to the national championship, we wanted to take a look at who Mike Krzyzewski will be putting out on the floor in six months. I don’t think Grayson should start. Despite knowing very little about Obi, he should be able to control the paint with his size and get lots of rebounds and maybe a few points. They defeated NC State in the second round of the ACC Tournament to advance to the quarterfinals where they lost to Notre Dame. In 2013, he started Jefferson over the senior Hairston, and Suilamon came off of the bench for 2 games before replacing Thornton in the starting lineup. One stat category in which Jefferson can be trusted is rebounds. I happen to agree with what you said. While there are a lot of question marks going into the season, we have tons of potential and the master to make sure they reach it. I also agree that we’ll see a lot of small ball this year with Ingram playing PF & Amile playing 5. The list of contributors off the bench will grow if the Blue Devils bring in Ingram and if they get ahold of some more transfers and incoming freshman. Jones was a key X-factor throughout his sophomore season by doing a little bit of everything on the court in his 21.7 minutes per game. There’s arguments there for others which brings some of them pouting over not being a starter. If he comes in at 200-205, I don’t think there will be any issue with him at the 4. Plumlee may start the season at C (courtesy, as coach K does with all upperclassman) but it won’t last long. Kennard is the Duke freshman I’m most excited to see next season. Gonna be another fun year to be a Duke fan! I don’t think the incoming 5-star freshman from Las Vegas would have reclassified from the class of 2016 to the 2015 class without there being the understanding that he’d be the team’s primary option at the point guard position next season. Probably played AAU since 4th grade & a little over seas ball. Allen had more than one good game, it just so happened this big stage is where he showed what a beast he can be. He is also ranked higher in the state of Ohio all time leading scorers than LeBron James. Disagreements are fine, he however doesn’t get it. Whenever he gets the ball on offense (except for a dunk), I cringe in fear that its a turnover waiting to happen. In these cases, the average was taken. Duke's 2015-16 roster is far from complete at the moment, but we do have a good idea of who the key faces will be. 2018-19 Duke Blue Devils Starting Lineups. The standards of Duke fans may have been set too high for incoming big men by Okafor, which is why Jeter may face some criticism if he starts slow in Durham. caseyellisjohnson mtwinkel patowens2423 Oh, I have no doubt he will give the upperclassmen the first shot at starting. Since the 2015-16 Duke starting lineup will look different from the side that went to the national championship, we wanted to take a look at who Mike Krzyzewski will … Every young roster needs an experienced head in the starting lineup when the season begins. If nothing else, Coach K appears to be heading into next season with tremendous versatility and depth, which is something we also projected prior to last season.
