Duke basketball: Cassius Stanley labels one fellow freshman ‘brilliant’

Only a few months since arriving on campus, Cassius Stanley already fully appreciates the uniquely calm, confident demeanor of a fellow Duke basketball freshman.

“The player that has impressed me the most this summer is Matthew Hurt,” the 6-foot-6, 195-pound shooting guard out of Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.) wrote on Thursday in what he expects to be his final blog for USA Today High School Sports.

Stanley explained:

“He’s just a brilliant basketball player. He lets the game come to him, and he gets the same results that he would get if he were trying to force the action or pressing it.
