Antonio Vrankovic, the lone senior on the 2018-19 Duke basketball roster, will not likely be part of the regular rotation for the Blue Devils.
However, as has been the case since his arrival in Durham, he will provide a safety net in the frontcourt.
Should either of the team’s junior big men, Marques Bolden and Javin DeLaurier, suffer an injury or a dramatic slump in performance, Vrankovic will be ready to fill in. What the 7-footer offers the Blue Devils is experience and size, as well as a complete understanding of how the coaches expect their paint-prowlers to operate.
