Coming off a season with Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, and Cam Reddish, the tendency could be there for Duke Basketball fans to expect more than they should from the 2019-20 incoming freshmen.
While Duke is still bringing in a top freshmen class, fans must remember that Zion Williamson is a generational type athlete and R.J. Barrett very well may have been the second best player in the country, behind Williamson.
Over the Mike Krzyzewski era at Duke, winning has become the expectation, not the hope and while that doesn’t change this year, don’t expect a 34-point victory on Opening Night at the Champions Classic this season against the Kansas Jayhawks.
