First will start with some video of Blue Devils Nolan Smith, Mason Plumlee, Miles Plumlee, and Seth Curry from the NC Pro-Am last night...
Over at the DBR message boards SupaDave gives some good notes on the Duke players...
Oh and about Seth - the kid plays defense. He doesn't care - he's in the mix. His shot was a bit off from three and admittedly - he shot a few 30 footers but I don't care, he attacks the basket like no other. THAT is something just a little more aggresive than his brother.
Miles, yeah he's gotten bigger since I saw him Memorial Day. Quite frankly, he's entering BEAST category. The older guys around me looked at me and said, "he's going pro isn't he?", and I said "yes, he is."
Miles runs well and he looks good. He stills needs to work on his post defense but then again these games aren't called like well... any game. So in saying that he was able to grab LOTS of rebounds. No problem there. If he could get his hands close to it - it was his. This is not the Miles that we got freshmen year for sure. He runs the court beautifully. He LOOKS like an NBA player out there.
Oh and I just looked and saw that Ryan scored 32 points. Yeah - that sounds about right. He put on a clinic of sorts tonight. While most of his threes were wide open - the fact of the matter is that he knocked down at least 4 that I saw. He was killing it. Gosh, he might have had about 8 dunks with 3 or 4 of them being alley-oops. He made me say "gosh". Seriously. Cause I want to say something else. He made my little brother get interested in the game which is saying something.
Here is one video that we missed from Tuesday, a crazy shot by John Henson courtesy One Entertainment...
Here is an article on former NC State player, Josh Powell, who is playing in the Pro-AM.
We'll try and post more as we find it.
