Duke basketball’s depth is formidable, but a forward flies under the radar.
The Duke basketball players haven’t started the season the way they envisioned coming into the 2020-2021 college season. However, there have been many positives takeaways from the team’s play thus far. Arguably the biggest takeaway has been the impressive play of freshman Jaemyn Brakefield.
The 6-foot-8 forward has been a major bright spot for the Blue Devils, especially with his 3-point shooting. With five collegiate games under his belt, Brakefield is shooting 61.5 percent from beyond the arc, which is the highest of anyone on the team.
