It is the coach's job to create competition and decide who starts. I look at the part you ignored or brushed off above, Duke is also saying to these draft picks be ready to work and earn it, we are not giving you 3 years to figure it out.
I get that and agree but it sounds like he thinks they have solid starters across the board. Now I know he’s probably not going to say everything he thinks but there are a few spots where a good rookie should be able to come in and win the job. He makes it sound like they expect all of their picks to contribute as back ups.
Just hope he doesn’t really think that it would be hard for an early round rookie G or S to come in and beat out one of their current starters.
