Duke Basketball: Coach K is set to visit home of Matthew Hurt on Sunday

What Duke basketball prospect Matthew Hurt lacks in speed, he makes up for with his smooth moves.

The Minnesota native and class of 2019 recruit has a unique way of slithering through defenders with an array of hops and body contortions all while pretending he’s the head foreman of a bucket factory.

The easiest way to describe the 6-foot-9, 215-pound forward to a Duke basketball fan is by explaining how his game falls somewhere in between that of Danny Ferry (based on his skilled passing and confidence with the ball) and Ryan Kelly (based on his body type and the high-release style of his highly successful shooting stroke).
