When looking at the 2020-21 Duke basketball roster, it is clear that this year’s team has something that past teams in Durham haven’t had.
The main separator for this year’s team from Duke teams of the past is depth. The Blue Devils have always had a short rotation, opposite of how Florida State runs things with 10 or 11 men in the rotation. Duke usually rounds out its rotation at about seven or maybe eight. Head coach Mike Krzyzewski rarely gives consistent minutes to more than eight players.
That could all change this year.
