ASU Basketball: Dort and Cherry have established chemistry for No. 20 Sun Devils

It’s not easy being the new kids on campus. For Arizona State freshmen basketball stars Taeshon Cherry and Luguentz Dort, this sentiment holds true in more ways than one.

Coming out of high school, the two five-star recruits had their names in the spotlight as they stepped upon campus in Tempe. Both players were expected to make immediate impacts and be pivotal players within the ASU rotation.

That task seemed easy for Dort. He earned Pac-12 and NCAA Player of the Week honors a couple weeks ago, and in his opening night debut, he set a freshman record by scoring 28 points.
