Duke Basketball: Strengths and Weaknesses of Blue Devils' 2016-17 Roster

Even the most talented teams in college basketball will have strengths as well as weaknesses heading into the season.

The Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team should go into the 2016-17 season as one of the top teams in every poll that exists. It added a loaded recruiting class to a solid group of returning players, making the squad a legitimate contender to bring another championship to Durham, North Carolina.

As good as this team will be, however, it will not be without faults, at least early in the year. The young squad might need some time to truly reach its potential, and until then, there are some weaknesses that could be exploited.
