Incoming Duke basketball freshman Cassius Stanley, who turns 20 on Sunday, is 11 months older than Zion Williamson. In fact, the 6-foot-6, 195-pound shooting guard from California was born before all four of last season’s freshmen in Durham.
No surprise, then, that Stanley is eldest among the Blue Devils’ 2019 class (eight months older than Matthew Hurt, 18 months older than Vernon Carey Jr., and 25 months older than Wendell Moore).
What would surprise most, though, is if the new scholarship Dukie with the lowest ranking as a recruit — No.
