This year’s UNC/Duke game might give Self a blueprint in the event we have to face Duke, and this year’s team has shown that sliding Releford to the 4 spot can be pretty effective.

Releford played quite a few minutes at the 4 in his sophomore year IIRC. At that point he had played hardly any minutes at all and I thought Self had flown the KuKus nest. But I was surprised. Releford played really solid defense down low. The problem is that if we run Releford at 4 we trade Releford perimeter defense for Tharpe perimeter defense which isn't beneficial. But a guy like Kelley would be a good option of Young can't get it done.
