One of the nice revelations of this disjointed young season for Duke has been the play of young Jaemyn Brakefield.
He’s been pretty solid but when Jalen Johnson was forced out with an injury prior to the Notre Dame game, he really came through for Duke.
As we’ve said before, fans tend to see these guys for a couple of hours at a time and we think we know them but we don't know anything other than the visually obvious.
Brakefield, like everyone else, has his own life with his own stories and heartbreaks.
Brakefield and his family moved from Milwaukee to Jackson, Mississippi when he was 12 and tall for his age.
