I don't think there's really any doubt about it. Only a handful of Duke players have really hit it big in the NBA- Elton Brand, Carlos Boozer, Grant Hill, and maybe Shane Battier. He had a great jump shot, but that was against college players- most shorter than him. You face bigger shooting guards defending you in the NBA plus the three-point line is four feet farther away.

Do you know what, you're right, I was thinking that myself. Even though he is just a rookie he barely ever plays and when he does he doesn't do very well. This is because all he can do is shoot three-pointers and of course free throws, and layups. So I personally think he should've gone higher in the draft.

It depends on what kind of player you want to help your team. If you think you are lacking a solid shooter on your team than it was a solid pick. These NBA teams know what they are getting into because they scout the players so much so i guess that is what they were looking for, a solid shooter but little potential.

yes he can only shoot the three and doesnt get to the rim too well and is not strong enough to be a lottery pick in the NBA

i'm a carolina fan and having watched him burn us more than once i would say no...he can do more than shoot the 3, he has the ability to drive and get to the foul line, where he is all but automatic...however, on the nba level, he needs to get stronger and bigger when dribble-penetrating because nba players are obviously stronger and bigger, and he needs to vastly improve his defense

No I thought he would go 7-13th pick.
