We’d agree with this contention and more to the point, so do his fellow freshmen who realize that he needs to be really good for the team to be.
Look at it this way. Consider Duke’s truly great teams: 1986, 1991, 1992, 2001, 2010 and 2015.
Every one of them had a superb point guard: Tommy Amaker in ‘86, Bobby Hurley in 1991-92, Jason Williams in 2001, Jon Scheyer in 2010 and Tre’s brother Tyus in 2015.
You could argue that any team that wants to contend for the national championship needs a great point guard and that’s hard to argue with.
