Sadly it's a pipedream (Nothing against Baker, that's just unattainable The physical and mental pressure in season games is a whole different animal than in a practice)
He's playing overseas in a couple of weeks. I think that's going to help his game tremendously this season we need him to really step up this year. Like it or not he's absolutely vital in hanging number 6 in the rafters
Joey can take advantage of the extra year of eligibility the NCAA is giving because of covid! Would Give him a better chance to improve his stats and impress pro teams here or overseas !
Yo I agree, he is a grown man. From watching him play you can tell he’s in the gym hard, it looks like he took those shots in mid-range many, many, many times
@@josheasy6716 those aren’t basic. The footwork on that post up was wild and the balance on the 2 bucket at his size at full speed is really impressive.
@@truecarter996 yup I 100% agree, I was watching a video of him working out and it looks like he practice that dribble pull up a ton. It’s good that he works on that because it’ll open his game up so much more
@@josheasy6716 u ain't watch the whole video. He scored like 5 times and he wasn't even taking it serious. It's like he knows he's going to shoot 20 times a game when the season get going.
Roach looks much improved the game really slowed down for him. Joey Baker looking like Redick in practice but usually never translate to the game. Everyone else looks good obviously just pickup basketball
This is your assignment: The level of communication, commitment and work ethic you all have on the court needs to follow you in your daily lives. You are a representation of Duke, Coach K, Coach Jon and the Coaching staff everywhere you go. I am not implying you will not have tough days or moments, but your good character, commitment and willingness to communicate should pull you through for the win in life and in the game going forward.👍💯🥰 Who are we? WE ARE DUKE!🤗💕
With the experience of having Coach K for a year, Banchero is going to be one of the best players of the next decade...and the Italian national team it's going to TAKE OFF with him
Banchero is nasty, got nice handles and can get it done at all 3 levels, P5 is gonna make guys on opposing teams look silly. Roach's shot looks better and I'm sure his confidence is higher than last year. Big Mark should just pick up where he left off last year which was dominating the paint. Keels has the size to shut guys down and the offensive skills to light them up. Moore looks smooth but he's fooled me in the offseason before, I hope this year is finally his break out season and he shows what he is really capable of, Baker well we all know he is a sniper behind the 3 point line... at practice and in scrimmage games but can he translate that to a real game and play good enough defense that he's not a liability? I truly hope he can because I have been pulling for Joey since the beginning and still am. Griffin isn't getting much hype and I understand why, he hasn't actually played a lot throughout the last several seasons but this kid can play and I believe he will be a huge reason Duke will have a chance to cut down the nets for the 6th time and send coach k out with a natty. Jones, John, bates I believe will all contribute a lot as well, 1 maybe more than others but every member of this team has talent and whether it be on the court in a game or on the practice court every player means something special to this team. Proud to be a life-long Duke fan, Let's go Blue Devils!!!
Today I will not tell you what I feel or think needs improvement. In my silence and observation... I want every teammate to reflect on two strengths and one weakness they can improve on and implement improving those areas down the stretch. This is what I call personal accountability for team dominance on the court.👍💯😊💕
Joey second guesses hisself a lot in the season but when he’s in practice he’s lights out because he has no worries in practice. He needs to take the same mindset he plays with in practice to the games
Easier said than done. especially if he is unaware that that is his problem. Or we may just not know, the dude may have a completely different problem we don't know about cuz we don't know his life.
@@annonymous6827 facts because some coaches punish kids for not making a shot sometimes. Baker gives the effort but second guesses himself because of things going on internally or things that we don’t know about. The kid is probably afraid to make a mistake
Didn’t see anything from A.J. Griffin which is concerning. Baker shooting really well but who knows if that will translate in the game. Roach and Banchero are consistent. Wish Williams was a little more polished under the basket, he looks awkward rather than calculated. Moore and Keelz add good depth although Keelz and Moore look more reliable as a starter than Griffin right now.
@@alec7926 good question. We only see what the film shows so maybe there were more touches and I’d have to go back and see where he was positioned on the court because a handful of baskets/shots were taken in transition but he may not match up well at the 3 spot.
I been said last yr roach should’ve easily BEEN starting pg too ! What can he not do ? He can penetrate at will and shoot effortlessly .. the kid is ready
what can't he do? he can't shoot 3s (31.3%). he can't reliably make FTs (67.5%, below team average of 69.1%, which was 233rd in the country). his offensive efficiency (103) is barely better than the average player against the average defense in the entire division i of the ncaa. and his likelihood of producing a turnover (22.7% per roach possession) is greater than his likelihood of producing an assist (16.8% of teammate shots made). what CAN he do?
@@GollyGeeWilikers - some of those stats are bit misleading--his FT were a small sample size of only 40... convert just three more and he's at 75%. His three point shooting came around nicely by the end of the season shooting 40% in his final 7 games including 4-7 in the ACC tournament. Not to mention what an outlier of a season 2020/21 was with a completely different atmosphere and he played on a team that didn't work out its rotation until nearly the end of the season.
Spot on--just talking to my dad about this. This team should be stout defensively with rim protection, rebounding and nice size on the perimeter which are all the hallmarks of a tournament team ready for a big run with only one thing lacking--strong PG play. I liked him as a freshman--he finished the season strong, especially in the ACC tournament, and hopefully he can build on that.
Coach K please guide and enrich your young coaches in the right way so in your absence Duke Basketball will remain competitive. I'm not optimistic after this season. Maybe I'm stuck in the 90s when I would sneak into Cameron and watch Laettner and company go ballistic in practice.
I warned people about AJ. He brutalized high school competition with is body and overall athleticism. He's gonna need a few years. I hope he doesnt Bolt after next year with Coach K leaving.
These programs better switch to developing players …. Kentucky Duke and the other so called big name schools with one and done players are becoming one done in the tournament every year.
There are some small basketball minds on here. PB could've scored on every possession if he wanted to. His handle, size, shot and poise are all better than Jalen Johnson's.
Lord, if Joey can just shoot like this during the season 😳
Sadly it's a pipedream (Nothing against Baker, that's just unattainable
The physical and mental pressure in season games is a whole different animal than in a practice)
He's playing overseas in a couple of weeks. I think that's going to help his game tremendously this season we need him to really step up this year. Like it or not he's absolutely vital in hanging number 6 in the rafters

Yo I agree, he is a grown man. From watching him play you can tell he’s in the gym hard, it looks like he took those shots in mid-range many, many, many times

AJ just wasn't aggressive today but don't forget he dominated the first scrimmage when he was
Man i love the sound of sneakers on a hardwood floor and the echo bounce of a ball in a quiet gym! Its like therapy to me! Lol

Looks like Grant Hill over on the sidelines. Duke royalty in the building 💯
I can see Joey Baker having a Duncan Robinson Route to the nba. That’s a perfect comp for him to as well
Crazy as it sounds Robinson is quicker and faster than Baker with much better hops.
Paolo is gonna be the one this year
That guy #5 is a beast, he's gonna put on a show
Thats Paolo He gon be a top 5 pick next year
We need to see more AJ!! We know you can dominate the game!!!!!!
Banchero is as advertised. Best player on the floor. If you get Roach to play like he did in this scrimmage on a consistent basis, look out.
Paolo is gonna be the Cade Cunningham of college this year
Let’s get back to being the best 😤
Damn straight bro
Wish Wendell looked to score more but he does a great job of setting up guys for good looks. We’ll need year
as long as he doesn't spend all his free time dribbling the ball off his feet and legs, we'll have a shot
C'mon Wendell, be a threat to score when you drive!!!!!!!
I’m so glad to have Amile back!
Im not saying i knew but I thought he would end up back there they way he wad around when that 2018-19 squad here
Joey has to play a little looser this season and have some fun. He looks real uncomfortable at times
this man Paolo is different!
Whoever is saying "don't force it" everytime griffin gets the ball needs to shut his mouth lol
With the experience of having Coach K for a year, Banchero is going to be one of the best players of the next decade...and the Italian national team it's going to TAKE OFF with him

I’m really hyped for this season
Me too!
Same!
AJ needa score
Come on Duke let's get back to where we supposed to be!!! #Brotherhood
Joey B looking nice look like he put in a lot of work this off-season
Joey looks ready for a good yr though
! Just needs to stay confident !
Thats all he lacks is confidence! He has no trust in his shot! If he can be persistent this year he will get alot of playing time!
@@TWINTOWERS4123 agreed
@IceBucket2K and I agree with you too but he just has to stay confident and play hard .. he has a good looking jumper

So nobody wanna talk about how keel was creating all those shots had like 10 assists in the video
Man fr! He had several triple doubles in his last year of high school. He's a super underrated passer
I agree with this. I might be wrong but he might be one of the best players on this team.
@@kasiusstanleystanley9288 he is the only ones I say are better are paolo, aj, and maybe roach but that’s very debatable as trever is more versatile

I'll put money on that being incorrect.

You heard of Hoodie Melo, Untucked Jersey Kyrie, now we have Practice Gym Joey
Joey should have a big year. Paolo is the real deal.
Thank you!
Wait. Wendell's going to bring the ball up? not Roach? Who's running the offense?
Keels was getting some tough buckets 😳
We gotta attack the basket more and rebound aggressively

Wish Williams was a little more polished under the basket, he looks awkward rather than calculated.

that was certainly strange, why did AJ only touch the ball maybe three times on offense?

Keels needs adjust he will be fine but bricking 3 shots not ok needs to adjust that shot pretty sure he will fine
Paolo and Roach that's all I seen Wendell still looks suspicious I wish Hurt was still here
Just keep getting better, Duke family.🥰👍💯
