Revealing their inexperience, the Blue Devils (3-1) lost 77-72 to the Kentucky Wildcats in the Champions Classic. They bounced back with a laugher against Wofford.
The Blue Devils are averaging 88.5 points per game and are allowing 58 points per game. They are shooting 47.9% from the field, including 37.2% from deep.
Head coach Jon Scheyer and Duke are still meshing their pieces together. The athleticism is jarring, but they are playing at a slower pace, looking for a more methodical approach on offense rather than a razzle-dazzle blitzkrieg.
The Blue Devils lost four starters from last season. In return, they welcomed in a slew of promising incoming freshman, headlined by guard Cooper Flagg.
The projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft is averaging 16.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 44.2% from the field. He had a couple of costly turnovers on the national stage against Kentucky. The tilt in the desert is an opportunity for redemption.
Freshman guard Kon Knueppel has lit up the court with 14.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists while shooting 42.9% from the field. He is Duke’s best perimeter shooter.
Freshman center Khaman Maluach will clash with Arizona’s trees. He is averaging 9.5 points and 7.0 rebounds while shooting 77.3% from the field. Maluach has scored at least 10 points in three straight games.
Junior guard Tyrese Proctor has posted 12.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 47.2% from the field.
Duke has the clear advantage from beyond the arc. In addition to the hot hand, their defense has held the opposition to just 25.7% from deep and 28.2% from mid-range.
This will be the first true road test for the new-look Blue Devils. The ZonaZoo will be in full effect.
