Overview: Duke is usually overrated before the season no matter how good they are. Losing Gerald Henderson (16.5ppg) was devastating to the team because not only was he the top scorer, but the best defender. They also lost jet-quick Elliott Williams, who ended up transferring to Memphis due to a family illness. That puts pressure on junior guard Nolan Smith (8.4ppg) to step up and become more of a true point guard. Senior Jon Scheyer (14.9ppg) can also play the point, but he’s best suited to play shooting guard. Up front, Kyle Singler (16.5ppg, 7.7rpg) can play all three frontcourt spots and will be a favorite to win ACC Player of the Year. Freshman Mason Plumlee (6-11, 230) is a McDonald’s All-American who will have to play right away. Senior Lance Thomas (5.3ppg, 3.6rpg) does the dirty work. Freshman Andre Dawson (6-4, 190) was supposed to come next season, but he graduated early and gives the backcourt immediate help.

Outlook: Duke still has issues in the backcourt, especially on the wing replacing Dawson. This is a good, but not great team that could struggle early on, but with Singler and Scheyer, they’ll win another 24-25 games.
