Duncan continues to amaze and improve his game. I've been watching some Mich b-ball games I have recorded and really noticed how much he improved his defense over the course of his Michigan career.

I love everything about his journey and I'm just enjoying the ride. 

Serious question- does DRob have a chance to be the...best...M player ever in the NBA?  I know it sounds crazy but what if he does this for 10-15 years?  Right now I'd give the award to Webber but as we all know, 3>2.

Ehhhhh, Chris Webber is a really high bar to reach for Duncan unless he magically grows out all other parts of his game as well.

Would you say that Kyle Korver is better than Chris Webber (or at least close)? I'd say a marginally better Kyle Korver, or should I say a prime Kyle Korver if he played in 2020, is about the ceiling for Duncan Robinson barring incredible improvement in all facets of his game.

He can't create his own shot, score in the paint, or handle the ball. He's almost completely maxed out the stuff he's good at which has made him a very valuable player. But players like him become less valuable in the playoffs historically.  

If you want to see what Weber would do in the modern NBA turn on a Nuggets game and watch Jokic. Can't tell me that kind of player wouldn't be the fulcrum a great offense in 2020.

Best of Beilein's era is an achievable goal, which would still be a huge accomplishment.

In the NBA, don't forget about Glen Rice:

  • NBA champion (2000)
  • 3× NBA All-Star (1996–1998)
  • NBA All-Star Game MVP (1997)
  • All-NBA Second Team (1997)
  • All-NBA Third Team (1998)
  • NBA All-Rookie Second Team (1990)
  • NBA Three-Point Contest champion (1995)
