Duke-Carolina is always a special game for NBA scouts. This year is only a little different than normal, thanks to North Carolina's struggles, but the game still has some intriguing talent.
The matchup features the perimeter talent from Duke against Carolina's likely top-five pick who roams and protects the paint. It will be a good test to see who can step up in an emotional contest -- scouts love to see that aspect of a player. This kind of game also gives some secondary guys a chance to be heard from. So who are the guys we're watching?
To see scouting breakdowns for the Duke-Carolina game tonight, including Thorpe's take on the pro potential for Ed Davis, Jon Scheyer, Kyle Singler and others, you must be an ESPN Insider.
