Duke Basketball: New type of showman will be in Durham next season

There have been two Duke basketball players named Matt.

Both won a national championship (Matt Christensen in 2001 and Matt Jones in 2015).

Good thing another is on the way.

And no offense to Christensen or Jones, but Matt Hurt is a near lock to be the best Matt in Durham yet. However, the chances the 6-foot-9, 215-pound forward becomes the third one to cut down nets as a Blue Devil may depend on how the coaches use him for however long he is in town — the best bet is one season, but two or more is not out of the question.
