A Nice Dick Groat Read

The other day we listened to CBS’s college basketball podcast and Matt Norlander was talking about something - it was probably Marvin Bagley’s double-doubles - and said that only a couple of guys had Duke had done as well, including “some guy in the ‘70s.”

That guy, we’re pretty sure, was Gene Banks, who was a bit better than “some guy in the 70s.” It was before Norlander’s time but Tom Heinsohn was before our time and we know he had a flat shot and we know Bones McKinney installed a seatbelt on the bench and we know Elgin Baylor had a twitch that sometimes doubled as a shot fake.
