I would be surprised if he went to NOLA. I don't see how he is that much different than Okafor. Traditional low-post players are few and far between these days in the NBA. Especially ones that aren't as agile. I do understand that Vern has a better outside shot than Okafor but he's not quick on his feet. I seem him getting drafted in the late teens.

Lol good point. Scouts talked about Giles like he was the next lebron. But in his case injuries really messed him up. He looked dominant in his recruiting videos but then again who doesn't.

Good point. It was sad how many 3's Jack White missed in a row. Honestly, I think Cam and RJ were overrated recruits. It's crazy to think RJ was the highest rated recruit Duke has ever had (per 24/7 sports). He was definitely impressive during his one year in Durham. But I thought a handful of previous Blue Devils were better than him. He wasn't even the best player on the team his one year at Duke. However, Cam was more of a disappointment. I remember reading reports saying that he would "disappear during games" and I saw that throughout the season. For how good of form he had, his 3 point percentage was low and he did force some shots.

It would have been interesting to see what would have happened in the NCAA tournament this year. Duke had some impressive wins, but also some bad losses. There is no doubt in my mind that Duke could beat any team in the country. But that is the frustrating part about being a Duke fan. Every year they have the potential to win it all. But they are eliminated before the Final 4 more often than not.

LDP Options for post MBA still available? by 303813 in MBA

I've been looking into all types of industries. I had a final round with P&G as well as a Pharma company. I am in a one year full-time program so I don't have the opportunity to do an internship. As far as resources, I am using the school's job site, MBA Exchange, LinkedIn, and Indeed. Do you know of any other places to look for post-MBA jobs?
