Re: let's talk '17

Duke doesn't have DeAndre Ayton, and guards love an exceptional big down there. That's why I feel a strong playmaker/scorer PG like Quade Greene should love Arizona; or why Gary Trent, Jr. as a strong scorer SG should , as well. Duke, watch out when these top backcourt guys do some more thinking.

He seems exactly like Coach Miller's type as a heady, in-control combo distributor, scorer and D guy. I think DeAndre and Lauri(If we're lucky to have him in 17) would ...
