I have never seen him play so he deserves zero minutes in my mind right now. I was making the point that when he committed, several posters made comments alluding to him being the "missing piece" or key component to making Duke a legitimate contender in 0000-0000. I believe that's over estimating his impact based on several folks thinking he's gonna get 0-0 minutes per game. I would rate the potential impact that a player may have getting 0-0 minutes per game pretty low. That's the kind of impact I think Keenan Worthington or Bates Jones will have on Duke or a walk on would have for Duke. Like I said, maybe folks are giving lots of weight to the effectiveness he will have in practice or study hall or being a good guy for off court camaraderie but it's hard for me to see a guy making a huge impact on the team and taking the team from pretender to contender getting 000-000 seconds of ticks per game. The mascot barely gets less minutes than that ...

Perhaps the people projecting minimal playing time for Blakes next season and the people who think Blakes was an important recruit for next season are not the same people.
