The Duke basketball duo of Matthew Hurt and DJ Steward were not selected in the NBA Draft.

Entering the NBA Draft on Thursday, the Duke basketball program was in an awkward and unfamiliar position.

The Blue Devils had one prospect, Jalen Johnson, who quit midway through the season, and two players, Matthew Hurt and DJ Steward, who do not currently project as NBA players.

Johnson, a former projected lottery pick, slid all the way to No.
