Duke basketball coaches close in on future frontcourt stability

Ever since a trio of four-year Plumlee brothers combined to give the Duke basketball frontcourt a solid foundation for nearly a decade, the turnover rate down low in Durham has been on the rise.

The past three seasons alone have seen Harry Giles, Chase Jeter, Marvin Bagley III, Wendell Carter Jr., Zion Williamson, and Marques Bolden all depart Durham — for various reasons — before their eligibilities expired.

Plus, two current freshmen, power forward Matthew Hurt and center Vernon Carey Jr., are strong candidates to cash in their talents following this season.
