I swear, I've never seen a guy with so much natural talent be so effed in the head..

My opinion is that he isn't really as talented as people think. Yes he is a good athlete who is tall and can dribble and pass the ball. But he isn't tough at all on the inside and his shot is not really reliable. Also, the best players always rise up in crunch time and as we witnessed, Josh just can't do that.

I'll still say that McRob is a good player, but has made some bad decisions.

I've seen Coach K comments saying that Josh was never comfortable being the "go to" guy last year. Which makes his decision to jump to the NBA even more questionable.

I wish him the best.

I don't know.... I think ElDuke and I might slightly disagree on this.
And ElDuke is more than welcome to correct me if I'm mistaken.

But, I wish that Josh was still at Duke because I believe this year's team would be much better with him.
Not because of the recent injuries of Zoubek, Pocius, or Thomas.
I believe he wouldn't have to be the "go to" guy. He just helps free up Nelson, Henderson, King, Scheyer, Paulus, & Smith to score.
Also, it would have given him another developmental year.

If he had his head on straight he would be a HUGE asset to this years Duke team. He is quite the enigma. Best of luck to him.

Duke would be a serious national championship contender with McBob, IMO. I think his and singler's games would have meshed extremely well, accentuating both of their strengths and mitigating most of their weaknesses.

And hopefully, he would have matured enough to stop throwing tantrums like a six year old every time a call didn't go his way.

Sorry, but I think this team is MUCH better without him. His attitude IMO infected last year's team, this team, especially with it's younger players, is much better off without him.

You are not allowed to disagree with me. You should know better.
