Duke's offensive improvements in recent weeks
Strategies Duke has borrowed from the Boston Celtics
Sion James in the dunker's spot
Duke's 3pt volume and number of open looks generated
Tyrese Proctor as a screener
Flare screens for Isaiah Evans
Cooper Flagg in the middle of the lane
Mason Gillis as a small-ball 5
Changing pick-and-roll coverages depending on which big man is on the floor
Gauging how good this Duke team given the competition level
Then they preview the matchup tomorrow with Wake Forest. Why has Wake shot the ball so poorly this year? How can they still be dangerous to Duke despite their offensive struggles? How should Duke attack their hard hedges of the ball screen?
