An incredible interview to discuss Duke’s new team.

The Duke Blue Devils 2024-25 roster is rebuilt, and now they’re in the lab to gel into a team this summer. As they do so, we look back at how Duke did in the transfer portal and what we can expect from the team next season. On Episode 631, we welcome back Brendan Marks of The Athletic for an incredible interview that is broken down into two parts.

This episode focuses on Part 1 of our interview, in which Marks helps us understand more about how this roster was constructed. We start with the transfer portal and how Duke did in relation to the rest of the conference at filling the holes that the roster had. This is a pivotal year for Duke, and Marks believes that the portal additions will help Duke in so many ways.

We then focus on some of the freshmen coming in as well as where the main returnees – Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster – fit into the mix. This team will be built around Cooper Flagg, but you won’t want to miss what Brendan thinks of the potential starting 5 – competition may drive who gets some of these spot

The Denver Nuggets’ shocking finish against the ’94 Sonics needs a deep rewind

In the final seconds of the 1994 playoff series between the Denver Nuggets and the Seattle Supersonics, there were only two possibilities: a miracle or a miracle. Either the Sonics would pull off a miraculous, last-second comeback, or the Nuggets would pull off a miraculous upset unprecedented in NBA playoff history. Before we see which miracle won the day, we should meet this western conference superpower and this scrappy underdog, and all the characters therein. Let’s rewind.

We will be back in your feeds early next week to give you Part 2 of our interview with Brendan Marks, taking a look at the ACC as a whole and how the other 17 teams (yes, we gotta get used to that) are looking as we enter the summer months.
