Duke basketball: Optimism surrounding often overlooked players

The Duke basketball program has big hopes for its reserve players.

Jaylen Blakes and Jaden Schutt find themselves in a challenging situation with the Duke basketball program this upcoming season.

With a ton of depth at the guard spot, there are some questions that need answering about their roles.

Blakes is entering his junior season and Schutt is starting his sophomore year and there seems to be a general consensus that they both will be the odd men out of the rotation.

In a vote of confidence, a video has surfaced featuring Jon Scheyer addressing his team, emphasizing the importance of working hard and staying confident regardless of their roles on last years team or this upcoming season.
