The latest, and we think final Chronicle player profile is of junior captain Jeremy Roach.
His Duke journey has been interesting. He arrived, like Quinn Cook, coming off of a significant injury and it took awhile for Roach to really get back to himself.
Last season he did though, and down the stretch he was absolutely brilliant - not to mention fearless. He would drive on much bigger players and, like Isaiah Thomas with the Piston, consistently score over them.
With the team essentially being overhauled, Roach’s importance cannot be overstated. He’s the conduit not just to the coach, but to Duke Basketball as we have come to know it.
