Look for the Dukies to be #1

The Duke Blue Devils should be the best team in college basketball next season. They return Kyle Singler, Andre Dawkins, Nolan Smith, and the Plumlee brothers. They also have highly touted freshmen Kyrie Irving joining Nolan Smith in the backcourt. Jon Sheyer will be missed, but Irving ads more explosiveness to their backcourt and he'll improve their defense. Zoubek will be missed on the boards, but the Plumlees should be vastly improved this next season and be able to fill that void. With all of this star power returning from a National Championship team, don't be surprised to see the Dukies cutting down the nets again come April
