We'll get into this sort of thing much more when the season is closer, but here's a quick look at the roster, first by class and then by size. In the second chart, we didn't include the walk-ons.
The thing you notice most quickly is that the roster is quite a bit bigger. With a healthy Brian Zoubek, and rookies Olek Czyz and Miles Plumlee, Duke has more size than they've had in a while. This should allow Lance Thomas and Kyle Singler to play their natural games and to spend far less time in the post.
But there are a couple of bonuses beyond that. The first is health: Zoubek, Dave McClure, Marty Pocius and Gerald Henderson should all be healthy and good to go.
And secondly, Czyz and Henderson both play taller than they actually are.
