Art Chansky is a good writer but it took him years to publicly admit he didn’t like Duke. What else would you expect though? He’s a UNC guy through and through and that’s fine.
But is he right in this column?
He thinks that Duke losing Mark Williams, Paolo Banchero, Wendell Moore, Trevor Keels and AJ Griffin is going to hurt.
Well, okay, he does have a point. That’s going to hurt.
Thing is though, and Chansky knows this, it’s nothing new. Duke’s been doing it for a while now. One of the more fascinating things about late-era Mike Krzyzewski is that he decided to work with one-and-dones and remained incredibly competitive.
