Jon Scheyer & Duke staff solidify roster with important pieces
Jon Scheyer and his staff needed experience and shooting, and with two recent additions to the 2022-23 roster, Duke figures to have all the key pieces in place.
Two weeks ago, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff were looking to fill a void in its backcourt. With Trevor Keels’ decision to stay in the NBA Draft, the Blue Devils were in need of depth at the two-guard spot.
At the time, incoming freshman Jaden Schutt was the only true shooting guard on the roster with Jeremy Roach and Jaylen Blakes returning as point/combo-guards. Harvard transfer Kale Catchings was also in place, though he slots better as an undersized small forward rather than a two.
Then, of course, there’s five-star forward Dariq Whitehead, who if needed, could be slotted at the two.
