Duke Back In Familar Territory, #1

Mike Krzyzwski's Duke team is in a familer spot as they are ranked preseason number one  entering the 2016 season  because of the talented group of freshman that includes Frank Jackson , Jayson Tatum, Harry Giles , Marques Bolden and the Australian Jack White. After that throw in the veterans of junior Grayson Allen , senior Matt Jones , red shirt senior Amile Jeffrerson along with returning sophomores Luke Kennard and Chase Jeter.

Unlike last years team when Duke had a thin roster due to Amile Jefferson's injury  and Mike Krzyzwski only played six  players . This team has both talent and depth. "according to   http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/acc/2016/10/20/duke-blue-devils-preseason-coaches-poll-college-basketball/92424836/ an

We still have a couple questions to answer though. Who will be the starting five ? Who will come off the bench? If you asked me today what my starting five for Mike Krzyzwski looks like   it would look something like this. Grayson Allen shooting guard, Frank Jackson point guard , Amile Jefferson center, Jayson Tatum, forward along with Matt Jones with  Luke Kennard and Chase Jeter coming off the bench. Would you agree or disagree with my starting five?
