Matthew Hurt needs more help from his Duke basketball teammates on offense.

Duke basketball has certainly had no shortage of dominant scorers throughout the program’s history. A go-to scorer is something these current 2-2 Blue Devils sorely miss.

Sophomore Matthew Hurt has been by far the team’s best and most consistent option on offense. The Minnesota native has taken a big jump from his freshman season, but his increased load offensively hasn’t resulted in wins so far for the Blue Devils this year.

What makes Matthew Hurt dangerous is his ability to score both on the inside and from beyond the arc.
