He’s not good enough for a Duke or top 10 team. He had a ton of assists as he was our only ball handler, but he was a ball stopper, and that doesn’t fly at big time programs where he would be the worst prospect
Cooper Flagg is seen as one of the best prospects since LeBron…so he’s starting, the C (Malauch) is going to be a stud (not like Dennis Evans). Two starters there…
Theses two will be top 5 picks in 2025.
In terms of duke PGs, roach was nothing special.
Can’t blame guys going to NBA, filipowski and the young guard, everyone else wouldn’t play with the recruits they have coming in, even if they were starters this last year.
even if he gets draft in mid second and hangs onto a roster it’s a smart move. Look no further than Amir coffee. He’s made over 7m in the last two years…it’s better than all of us. Life is good as a 2nd round pick who can hang around.
