Duke basketball sophomores add serious muscle during offseason

The Duke basketball sophomores have added serious muscle since their freshman year.

At times last season, the Duke basketball team looked overmatched.

It was very apparent in its season finale against Tennessee in the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament when the Volunteers were clearly the physically dominant team but the Blue Devils are hoping that doesn’t happen again.

The program released the details of its roster this week and it’s apparent that last year’s freshmen have been in the weight room this summer.

Dereck Lively and Dariq Whitehead made the jump to the NBA after just one season in Durham but Tyrese Proctor, Kyle Filipowski, and Mark Mitchell are sticking around for at least one more season.
