I'm not familiar with his game, but it sounds like he thrives playing in a complementary role (specifically next to Jay Williams). I think we gave up our draft pick in the Rice trade, but anyone interested in picking him up? Where do you think he'll go in the draft?
Blah. He's not very good. I'd say probably late 1st or 2nd round. Probably 2nd...almost definitely. I just think he was overrated. Many better options.
I'm loooking for a role player at PG, not a star or someone who needs to take an active scoring role. Duhon is said to be a good defender and distributor. Is this not true?
Duhon was better as a sophomore (opposite Jay Williams) than as a junior (opposite JJ Redick). It should be interesting to see how he develops this year. I see him as a late first-early second round pick... unless he picks it up his senior year.
i agree with most of the responses. He just doesn't have the talent or the skill to be a rotation player in the NBA. Waste of a pick.
Duhon's stock seems to be a little higher with improved play this year. Thoughts now? Personally, if he's available in the second round, I pick him up. I still think he would be a good backup/backcourt mate for Stevie.
I agree. For a second round pick, why not? Recently Duhon passed Battier for the Duke steals record and the ESPN guys were stating how Duhon can guard 1's and 2's. I do not see him being able to guard guys like Kobe or Maggette, but put him in the Mike Wilks role and see how he develops.
