Duke doesn’t have many question marks entering the 2023 season. After all, it returns 4 of 5 starters from an ACC Champion squad while adding the consensus No. 2 recruiting class in the nation. But if there is a question mark, it appears to be that the Blue Devils may not have the dominant rim protector they’ve had the past two seasons, when Mark Williams and Dereck Lively II manned the paint.
Duke certainly has talent and depth up front, with Kyle Filipowski and Ryan Young returning, Christian Reeves having had another summer to develop, and freshman Sean Stewart looking impressive at summer practice.
