The Nic Duncan hype

I remember there was a lot of hype for this kid a few years back and you barely here about him anymore when people talk about Aussie hoops. Was it just the lack of height that killed his potential as a forward at the next level?

Wasn't he a PF though? If so then yeah, that is short for that position.

And no, i just remember him being one of younger hyped players on this board. Like Humphries, Mcveigh etc.

At 6' 8" tall I would say anyone that size can play anywhere they want. Too small for a PF, where in the NBA? Anyway last I heard he was injured or something, hope he can start his next basketball season fresh.

Humphries is going great but he started at LMU in his senior yr! Give Duncan time.

I remember hearing about Duncan, and in the hype of every other good young Australian I haven't heard of him for ages... So I agree with your point anon.

Is he a PF? A look at his stats show for his career 298 of his 376 shots have come from behind the 3 point line....

Yeesh.... that's a flat out nothing but 3 point shooter. As far as college PFs go that's pretty unusual, unless he's playing the 3? I thought he was a big bodied PF too...

He is a flat out shooter. Period.

No doubt... I just wonder how far that gets you. Especially if you can't guard anyone

Me too. Thought he was a rebounding pf who could shoot a bit.

I wonder what his ceiling is? Like Europe? Or will probably end up in the NBL?
