Can Duke Win It For Coach K?
While this year of Duke basketball will be punctuated by farewell videos and corny tributes to retiring coach Mike Krzyzewski, the Blue Devils are a legit contender and currently lead ACC basketball championship odds.
The Blue Devils had an awful season last year and have turned over much of the roster to earn their spot atop the ACC odds in 2021-22. Top newcomers like AJ Griffin, Paolo Banchero and Trevor Keels will be crucial. Banchero and Griffin may end up being two of the most talented players in the ACC, and they’ll probably have to be for Duke to win the conference.
The Orange Sleeper Pick
If you liked Buddy Boeheim-mania during the NCAA Tournament last year, wait until you hear about all the Boeheims at Syracuse this year. Alongside coach Jim and returning shooting guard Buddy, the Orange brought in Buddy’s brother Jimmy Boeheim from Cornell to play the wing for ’Cuse.
While Syracuse is clearly just stockpiling Boeheims, Buddy and Jimmy actually represent a solid core for a competitive college program. Buddy established himself as one of the best shooters in the country last year, knocking down 38.3 percent from beyond the arc and averaging almost 18 points per game. If Jimmy and new wings like freshman Benny Williams and Villanova transfer Cole Swider can fill in at the forward positions, this Syracuse team could be a dynamic scoring machine.
The key for the Orange, however, will be the play of big man Bourama Sidibe. Syracuse hasn’t had a solid center in some time, and missed Sidibe when he was out all of last season with a knee injury. The Orange desperately need rebounding, and the six-foot-10 Sidibe can bring it if healthy and productive.
