ESPN’s Myron Medcalfe, Jeff Borzello and Jonathan Givony got together on Zoom or whatever ESPN uses to discuss Duke’s transition, the roster and what to expect this season from Jon Scheyer’s team.
Medcalfe said he had visited Duke and, like others, was struck by the change in atmosphere. He used the term “laid back,” which was inconceivable during the Krzyzewski era.
They went on to discuss how this team, as far as they can tell, doesn’t have a tentpole player, a guy who can just take over a game.
As for Dariq Whitehead, Scheyer told one of them that there’s no definite date for his return, but that his return will be closer to the opening than it is to the start of conference play.
