Duke basketball (Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports)
The tight-knit Duke basketball bubble should be beneficial to a young team.
Without much outside noise to distract them, the 2020-21 Duke basketball players probably needed their present closed-off environment, which has apparently left them with no other option but to develop bonds.
That’s important, after all, since there are only four returning faces in town who look to contribute on a regular basis: Jordan Goldwire, Joey Baker, Wendell Moore, and Matthew Hurt.
Meanwhile, there are seven newcomers who came to Durham from a handful of various states: grad transfer Patrick Tapé plus freshmen Jeremy Roach, DJ Steward, Jalen Johnson, Henry Coleman, Jaemyn Brakefield, and Mark Williams.
