Duane scored 30 against Tennessee his freshman year.

You're 100% incorrect about the rest of the your post. Duane is simply playing his role and he's playing very well and very efficiently.

As a frosh, he and Carlino were basically the only perimeter players with the ability to score. As a result, his role was to score. He averaged 12 per game with low efficiency.

Last season, the team was less dependent on his scoring with HE on the team and JJJ emerging in the second half. As a result, his scoring average and most of his metrics stayed about the same but his efficiency increased.

This season, the team has plenty of scorers. As a result, his scoring has decreased slightly per 40 but his efficiency, assists and TOs have all significantly improved.

Instead of complaining about Duane's lack of improvement and production, we should be lauding him for his ability and willingness to alter his role for the betterment of the team.

This analysis is spot on.

Agree.  Hope he (and his dad) see it the same way.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

Pretty easy.  There are more and better players around.  And honestly he might be having his best year in more limited action.  His OR, eFG% and Asst% are way up from the last couple of years.  And Wojo has him in during crunch time on the defensive end on Tuesday.  We will see if his minutes increase over the next few games.

And it's all about defense at crunch time, got it.

I think due to lack of size, Wojo is reluctant to give him extended run, which, IMO is a mistake.    I would like to see a nearly even minutes distribution between HC, JjJ, and Duane between the 2 and the 3.    Duane has been one of our best on-ball defenders this year and is not forcing anything offensively.   

I agree.  I was hoping for more leadership from him, but it isn't easy to do when you aren't getting a ton of minutes.  Hopefully, he becomes that guy as the year progresses.
