After winning the NCAA championship last month in Indianapolis, you wouldn’t think Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski would want to change too much.

But Coach K says the addition of a single player to the 2010-11 version of the Blue Devils will transform the team’s entire offense.

“We’ll change our whole offense, the way we play because of Kyrie,” Krzyzewski said Wednesday at the New York Athletic Club, referring to incoming freshman point guard Kyrie Irving of Elizabeth (N.J.) St. Patrick High School.

“Just like we did when we had Jason Williams and he’ll make a big impact right away. He’s going to be very, very good.”

“Irving could make them [Duke] back-to-back champions, he’s that good.”

“[Irving] is not as explosive as John Wall, and nobody is, but I’ll tell you one thing,” Garfinkel said. “There’s no way any team he’s ever on, from now until he retires from the game, will shoot 0 for 20 from 3.”

While last season was an absolute joy to watch and remember, it's hard to not get excited about the upcoming season when reading stuff like this, even if it is almost 5 months away....

I chose Duke mostly because of my relationship with Coach K. Kentucky was definitely an option because my family is very close to assistant coach Rod Strickland, and I was also looking at Texas A&M because my dad played with one of their assistants, Scott Spinelli. But it came down to Coach K. I just trusted him and wanted to play for him.
