Over at the News & Observer, Steve Wiseman has a piece up about Duke’s potential starting lineup this season, focusing on speed, pressure and the backcourt.
Obviously Duke has Jeremy Roach and Tyrese Proctor back, but there are guards galore with Jaylen Blakes, who was surging before his nose injury last season, Jaden Schutt, who has the potential to develop into a very good player, and freshmen Caleb Foster and Jared McCain.
Last year’s defense was really good but this year, the pressure should be relentless. Coach Jon Scheyer is quoted here as saying he’ll be using a three guard lineup at at least some points, which makes sense.
