DBR Bites #168 - True Brotherhood: Kager Knueppel Commits!

Another one!! Kager Knueppel commits to Duke suddenly, so Donald and Jason jump on quickly to discuss it on an emergency DBR Bites! We're truly excited about Kager deciding to come to Duke, and we get a chance to talk quickly about his game and what he brings to the Blue Devils. It creates some intriguing size for the 2027-28 team as well with Kager now standing 6'10" and shooting up the high school rankings. We talk about the growing Knueppel pipeline and what it means to now have Kager as the latest. Kager's not the only guy that Duke is coveting in the Class of 2027. We also briefly discuss a couple more guys that are on Duke's radar that could be terrific pieces to another awesome recruiting class. We'll hopefully be back later this week, but wanted to make sure we screamed from the rooftops: ANOTHER ONE! Make sure you’re following us!

#832 - More Draft analysis, Boumtje Boumtje takes over FIBA U-17s

We're back with Episode 832 as Jason and Donald finally have the time to record together! We start by recapping Donald's trip to date for the World Cup and the travel he has left on the docket. We then shift to the basketball, starting by giving some in depth analysis on Maliq Brown being drafted by the San Antonio Spurs. Donald also gets to briefly add his thoughts on Isaiah Evans going to the Minnesota Timberwolves. We then get into Joakim Boumtje Boumtje balling out with Team USA at the FIBA U-17 World Cup. He's been doing really well and we talk about his progress over the past couple of months since he committed. We also get into recruiting as Duke has offered a couple of highly ranked recruits in the Class of 2028. We discuss how the new 5 in 5 rule passed by the NCAA could affect high school recruiting, particularly over the next couple of seasons. Make sure you’re following us!

#831 - NBA Draft Recap

There was exciting news and also a little bit of a bummer when it came to Dukies and the NBA Draft this year. The Duke Basketball Roundup guys hopped on to do a pod shortly after Isaiah Evans was taken in the second round (they wrapped up only minutes before Maliq Brown was picked -- bad timing). And while Isaiah's slip may have surprised some Duke fans, the podcast guys explain that it may not really matter all that much in the grand scheme of things. The DBR pod also breaks down the expected result at the top of the draft as Cameron Boozer went #3 and finds himself in a pretty good situation in Memphis. And, before they sign off, the pod crew talks a bit about Duke's West Coast trip in November which will find them playing an unexpected foe in an unexpected place. Learn more about your ad choices.

DBR Bites #167 - JBB Balls Out in Team USA Tryouts

Guess who is back from vacation? Jason Evans returns to the DBR Podcast just in time to talk a bit about his favorite semi-international Dukie, Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje. JBB was trying out for the Team USA U17 World Cup team this past week and we got some good intel on how his game stacked up against some of the best teenaged American players around. Jason and Scott Rich break down what they have heard about JBB and how he projects at Duke over the next couple seasons. After the break, the DBR Podcast crew also dive into the latest social media videos being put out by the Duke basketball team, including a very revealing look at the newest member of the Duke coaching staff, KJ Conklin.

#830 - NBA Draft Preview: Maliq Brown (w/ Jay Bilas)

The NBA Draft Preview series concludes on Episode 830 as we discuss the final Duke player eligible for the draft, Maliq Brown. One again, Jay Bilas is back to speak on Maliq's qualities and how his game translates to the next level. He obviously needs to continue to work on his offense, but can his defense carry him in the Association? After Jay wraps up, Donald and Scott react and give our final predictions on a) if Maliq will hear his name called in the second round, and b) where he could go if drafted.

#828 - NBA Draft Preview: Cam Boozer (w/ Jay Bilas)

It's almost that time! The 2026 NBA Draft is almost upon us, so it's time to jumpstart our NBA Draft Preview series with Episode 828.. And once again, we're honored to have Jay Bilas join us! Donald and Jason were able to sit down recently with Jay Bilas to discuss each of the three Duke players who are eligible to be picked in the NBA Draft: Cameron Boozer, Isaiah Evans, and Maliq Brown. On this episode, we focus on Cam Boozer, widely presumed to be among the first three players to hear their names called by NBA commissioner Adam Silver. Jay provides his analysis of what makes Cam such a great player, how his game will translate to the NBA level, and what he can work on moving forward. We then hear his over/under on where he thinks Boozer will go in the draft. We then hear from Donald and Scott Rich, who react to Jay's analysis and discuss what they think Cam can do at the next level. They then offer their over/under takes on where we will hear Cam Boozer's name called and to which team. Next up in the NBA Draft Preview series: Isaiah Evans! That episode along with the Maliq Brown episode will come later this week. Make sure you’re following us!

#827 - Discussing the ACC-SEC Challenge matchups

The ACC-SEC Challenge matchups have been announced, and Donald and Scott Rich combine to discuss it all on Episode 827! Before we discuss the challenge, we give our takes on the report that the Duke-Michigan game is going to be shifted to LoanDepot Park, the home of the Miami Marlins. A baseball field?! We go through the ins and outs of keeping the game but adding the spectable of it being in a retractable roof non-basketball stadium. We then get into the ACC-SEC Challenge, first on the men’s side. Duke will head to Gainesville to take on Florida in a matchup that we all expected. Still, it’s a potential top 5 matchup and we’re pretty excited that it’s another high profile non-conference game for Duke. We also discuss the other matchups in the ACC-SEC Challenge and which ones we’re looking forward to seeing. We finally end on the women’s side with Duke drawing South Carolina, one of the two best programs in women’s basketball, and having that game in Cameron. For Kara Lawson’s bunch to take the next step in the program’s desire to ascend to the top of college basketball, they have to defeat teams like Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks. We’re excited about the opportunity the matchup presents for Duke to take that next step and show they should be considered a title contender. Make sure you’re following us!
