Duke Basketball: Tre Jones set to direct Duke’s high-powered offense

Tre Jones can be the five-star recruit that people sometimes forget about in the Duke basketball team’s star-studded freshman class. But the point guard from Apple Valley, Minn., is the catalyst for the Blue Devils’ high powered offense.

Mike Krzyzewski has chosen to utilize a fast-paced five-out motion offense. NBA teams like the Boston Celtics and defending champion Golden State Warriors execute this offense to perfection.

This offense, though, can make teams dare the Blue Devils to shoot their way out of the defense.

This was seen early in the exhibition game on Tuesday night as Virginia Union decided to defend with a 2-3 zone.
