    Roster Construction Insight from Tristan at Busting Brackets

    You want to read the article about areas of need for the Dukes. I could not link it directly, but I think this should lead you there.

    His take on the PG spot is newsworthy.

    Re: Roster Construction Insight from Tristan at Busting Brackets

    Thanks, phil95.  If you don't have a top A10 point guard (see Aaron Jackson and Jimmy Clark), it is highly improbable that you are competing at the top level of this conference.  The PG today has to be able to score both from the 3-point line and driving to the basket, defend at a very high level and be able to get the ball to other players in the right time and place; added bonus is leadership skills...  This player is tough to find but it needs to happen for the Dukes.

    I found it interesting that Tristan did not list Lawson as being on next year's roster but did list Brandon Hall as a PG.

    Here’s a pretty deep dive into roster construction for mid-majors by Evan Miya. Interesting take on balancing transfers, freshman, returnees, etc.
