Duke had a relatively thin rotation during the 2014-15 season, which didn't allow for much creativity when it came to putting different lineups on the court. Most of the substitutions were rest-related, not in an effort to create mismatches or execute a certain game plan.
That won't be the case this season, as the Blue Devils figure to go deeper into the bench thanks to a large, six-man recruiting class and the availability of Rice transfer Sean Obi. Combine those seven players with holdovers Grayson Allen, Amile Jefferson, Matt Jones and Marshall Plumlee, and Duke is suddenly rolling in options.
