Crystal clear: The one five-star race Duke basketball recruiters must win

Only three of the past 16 Duke basketball teams have made less than 37 percent of their 3-point attempts. One was last season's bunch, who turned in a 30.8 eyesore. Another is the current squad, sitting on a 36.6 clip through 19 games.

A possible future solution, at least for one season, could come in the form of Hamilton (Wis.) small forward Patrick Baldwin Jr., a five-star who ranks No. 2 on the 247Sports 2021 Composite. His Crystal Ball, with two new picks this week matching the previous five, shows Durham as the pre-NBA layover for the 6-foot-10, 205-pound namesake of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's head coach.
