Here’s something that’s become a sort of unappreciated tradition with Duke Basketball: players from tight-knit families.
You don’t have to look too far: Bobby Hurley, Grant Hill, Christian Laettner, Jason Williams, JJ Redick, Chris Duhon, RJ Barrett, Zion Williamson, Mark Williams, Dereck Lively.
That’s not everyone, but those guys all come from strong families. At one point, Mike Krzyzewski said that he preferred to get players from strong families (not everyone thought this was great, not least of all Jalen Rose, who has said more than once that this annoyed him about Duke).
