DBR Podcast # 829 – NBA Draft Preview: Isaiah Evans (w/ Jay Bilas)

We’re back with Episode 829 as we continue our NBA Draft Preview series with a look at Isaiah Evans! One again, we hear from Jay Bilas as he gives us the skinny on what Slim can do at the next level. What are teams most excited about? Where can he improve? What’s his floor/ceiling? We […]

DBR Mock Draft Results

Every year we do a DBR Mock Draft and The 2026 version is complete, with Jason Evans as Commissioner and @-jk, @CDu, and @brevity deputized to run things in his absence. Notable picks including AJ Dybantsa to Washington, Darryn Peterson to Utah, and Cameron Boozer to Memphis. Fellow Blue Devils Isaiah Evans and Maliq Brown […]

Former Blue Devil Jack Marin Gets A Cool Honor

On a good day in America, we don’t really think about, or much care, where someone comes from. What difference does it make? Be a decent person, do your best, and no one cares about stuff like that. That said, we occasionally wonder about various Duke players’ backgrounds. Spanarkel always intrigued us, and we’ve never […]

Twitter Gold: Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje On Choosing Duke

Here’s a small section of a presumably longer interview with incoming Blue Devil freshman Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje, where he talks about why he decided to go to college, rather than playing a year at an American high school, why he chose Duke, and a bit more. As it turns out, the Boumtje Boumtjes discussed the […]

Brotherhood Podcast #74 – Quinn Cook & Jahlil Okafor!

Teammates on Duke’s 2016 national championship team, Quinn Cook and Jahlil Okafor sit down to discuss their time at Duke and what they love about the program. Here’s a brief excerpt. Hit the link to hear the whole podcast. QK: Let’s talk about 2015 a little bit. You’re one in a long year here. I […]

2026 NBA Draft Links Run

With the NBA Draft coming up in just a week, we’re going to be doing a few links runs, focusing on Cameron Boozer, Isaiah Evans, and Maliq Brown, but going into other aspects of the draft as well. There is still a lot of smoke and mirrors going on. For instance, Darryn Peterson has refused […]

Twitter Gold: Jayson Tatum As A Blue Devil

This video has a pretty cool caption about Jayson Tatum’s decision to become a Blue Devil; “Jayson Tatum never thought he’d go to Duke. He didn’t think kids from where he came from ended up at Duke, and never imagined Coach K recruiting him. Then he took one visit there. He told his mom, ‘We […]

Isaiah Evans Update – A Future Celtic?

If you’re Cameron Boozer, you can more or less relax in the run-up to the draft, because you almost certainly won’t go any lower than #4, and there’s a chance you could go #1. For anyone outside of the projected lottery picks though, you have no certainty whatsoever. Some guys are going to slip while […]

Jared McCain Takes In The US-Paraguay Match

Jared McCain’s NBA career has had an odd start. The former Duke star was a leading candidate for Rookie of the Year last season when he had a knee injury in mid-December. He suffered a thumb injury this year, and Philadelphia had a deeper backcourt rotation as well, and he didn’t get that much time. […]

Twitter Gold: Zion Williamson Is A Load

One of the most magical seasons for Duke fans ever was 2018-19, when Zion Williamson burst on the scene like a supernova. He became a virtual rock star. Who else remembers Stephen A. Smith’s stunned reaction after Duke just destroyed Kentucky in the first game of the season? Now imagine being on his team and […]

Congratulations To The ‘Canes & What A June This Has Been So Far

It’s been a fun June so far, with a crazy NBA Finals, the World Cup starting up, and Sunday night, the Carolina Hurricanes winning the Stanley Cup, 4-2 in Game 6. The ‘Canes were not fooling around Sunday. The defense was dominant throughout, and Las Vegas was pretty thoroughly stifled. It was a richly deserved […]

CBS Bracketology: Duke Will Be A #1 Seed Again

It’s kind of pointless to talk about bracketology in June, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun, and CBS’s latest effort should make Duke fans feel pretty good. In the first 76-team field, Duke gets the #1 seed in the East. Also projected from the ACC: Virginia as the #3 seed in the West, Louisville […]

Sunday’s Brotherhood News & Links: New York Wraps Up A Finals For The Ages

If we learned anything from the San Antonio Spurs in June, it’s that this is not the franchise we saw when Gregg Popovich coached there. The Spurs blew three games they should have won, and crumbled in the fourth quarter nearly every game, including in Game 5 Saturday night, which means that former Blue Devil […]

YouTube Gold: How Good Was Earl Monroe?

With the New York Knicks having won the 2026 NBA championship Saturday night, it’s a good time to look back at one of the great stars from the last Knicks teams to win a championship, Earl “the Pearl” Monroe. Monroe played college basketball for Clarence “Bighouse” Gaines at Winston-Salem State in the early 1960s, in […]

This Is One Of The Best Auction Items We’ve Ever Been Involved With

They’re doing important work, and deserve your support. What are they auctioning? An absolutely gorgeous coffee table that’s crafted from the floor […]

Jayson Tatum And The Boston Celtics May Be On The Verge Of A New Era

Nothing has happened on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade front yet, but there are strong rumors that Boston may win the sweepstakes. There are various reports of how the trade would be structured, with some saying it would be a three-way deal between Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. Other reports say Brad Stevens is trying to swing a […]

Twitter Gold: A Great Story From Austin Rivers

You know what’s really rare? It’s when you’re one of the first to understand something. In basketball terms, you could say it’s when you first know that someone special has come along. This was kind of the idea of the movie Blue Chips: Shaquille O’Neal plays a hugely talented young big man whom Nick Nolte’s […]

Cameron Boozer News

The NBA Draft is less than two weeks away, so it won’t be long until we learn where Cameron Boozer will play ball for the foreseeable future. The smart people now think he may end up being taken by Utah with the second pick, but the smart people are frequently wrong. We’ll just have to […]

Isaiah Evans’ Biggest Fan Is No Surprise

Isaiah Evans has had a nice few years. First, he was North Carolina’s Gatorade Player of the Year in 2023 and 2024, and then spent two years at Duke. In his first season, the Blue Devils got to the Final Four, and this spring, his sophomore year, Duke just missed getting back. And in less than […]

YouTube Gold: Duke’s Smartest Point Guard Ever?

Duke has had some amazing point guards over the years: the elegant Tommy Amaker, the steady and stoic Chris Duhon, the stunning defender Tre Jones, and the cerebral Jon Scheyer among them. Of all of them, our favorite was Bobby Hurley, because he always seemed too small to do the things that he did. He […]

Boumtje Boumtje Update!

The excitement over Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje continues to build, even though most fans, and a lot of coaches and analysts, have never seen him in person. We trust Jon Scheyer’s eye for talent, but for any number of reasons, some guys never live up to the hype. You have to feel good about Boumtje Boumtje’s […]
