Grayson Allen and Luke Kennard...

[QuitCallingMeWanny]

I mean when does a stereotype quit being a stereotype....Could these kids BE more of a Duke player.....Allen with his smarmy look about him and Kennard who looks like he cuts his hair with a salad bowl....oh and they also are good hoops players......

QCMW's only take of the hoops game

Thanks

I'd say Luther qualifies.

I'm not seeing it...but I'm biased

Sure you do.

Notice you didn't use Ingram, Thornton, or Jones as your examples?

The stereotype is white suburban kids who are very skilled.

Big difference with Allen is that he is a GREAT athlete. Not a Reddick type in the least. Huge hops, great quicks. He does have the most punchable face in history, though.

He's strong, too. Really a tough guy I'd love to have on our team.

You're WAY under-selling Reddick, though. He's not averaging 16.6 PPG on a good team because he's one-dimensional.

Oh there is no doubt I meant white, goes without saying, I don't see Luther in that mold as a punch able player, as another poster said

Luther wouldn't work as a Duke player.

He's not a dick.

Neither are the Plumlees for the most part.

Yes. And the Plumlees aren't/weren't hated.

Agree. Redick is/was very athletic. People would give him the Steve Kerr-type stereotype because he was a white boy known for bombing it--but he was big, strong, quick and explosive as well. Hell just the way he elevates for his jumpers makes that pretty obvious.
