Last but not least on our list of ACC Previews is your favorite school and ours, the Duke Blue Devils.
When we last saw the Devils, Justin Robinson was coming on fast at the end of a career where he was a rare bird, a guy who barely played but nonetheless had a huge impact on his team. He seemed to be unexpectedly filling a real need - and then the pandemic wound up for a major punch and his career came to a screeching halt, as did Duke’s season and indeed all of college basketball’s.
It was a sad ending to what promised to be a tremendous career capstone for a guy who went from a recruited walk-on to a part-time starter to maybe more.
