1. Duke lost a ton of talent from last year’s team, what’s the biggest difference from 2017-18 to 2018-19?

"For the past few years it seems we have a new team in Durham with Duke. One class of freshmen come in, they go to the NBA, and then a brand new class comes in. There’s no debating that last years batch of freshmen were amazing, but this years group is just special. Last year it was a two headed monster with Marvin Bagley III and Wendell Carter Jr. in the post, and this year its the two headed monster of R.J. Barrett and Zion Williamson, but the biggest difference is having a true point guard on the floor in Tre Jones. He is the leader of this team and he’s not the best player on the squad, but he might be the most important."
