Duke basketball appears to have added another big man

Is a European center suddenly a member of the 2021-22 Duke basketball team?

Late Sunday evening, the official Twitter account of the Duke basketball program posted a video of the Blue Devils on the practice floor singing “Happy Birthday” to head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s wife, Mickie, aka “Mrs. K.”

Immediately, knowledgeable fans began to ask about the mysterious guy — the one roughly as tall as 7-foot sophomore center Mark Williams — wearing a practice jersey and standing in the back.

The consensus is that Stanley Borden is his name.
