Jeremy Roach spent the night of the recent NBA Draft in Charlotte watching as, one-by-one, all of his fellow starters from last year’s Duke lineup heard their names called by professional teams, four in the first round followed by his old high school teammate Trevor Keels in the second.
If it wasn’t clear before, it became graphically so then — Roach, a rising junior, will bring the most experience in a Duke uniform to the first Blue Devil roster that will play for new head coach Jon Scheyer.
Roach started 27 games and averaged 29 minutes per for last year’s Final Four team.
