A Look At This Year’s Very Different Duke Team

We’re still catching up a bit after a rough few days and wanted to link to this article from the News & Observer as Jon Scheyer begins to reveal his plans for a very different sort of team from last year’s model.

In the end, Duke built around Kyle Filipowski and Dereck Lively and the defense was superb.

This year, Duke has a very deep backcourt with starters Jeremy Roach and Tyrese Proctor back, along with junior Jaylen Blakes, sophomore Jaden Schutt and freshmen Jared McCain and Caleb Foster.

That’s phenomenal depth and it gives Duke a ton of options, which extend when you add in the highly versatile Mark Mitchell.
