Duke Basketball: Heels will continue to feed Luke Maye in depleted paint

Back on February 20, Luke Maye went for 30 points and 15 rebounds against the Duke Blue Devils in Cameron Indoor Stadium, albeit without Zion Williamson.

Williamson’s status is still in question, but if Zion doesn’t play on Saturday night against the Tar Heels Luke Maye will have another field day in Duke’s depleted paint.

Once Zion went down on February 20, Duke had no one that was able to step in and guard Maye on the perimeter or down in the paint.

While Marques Bolden has the strength to compete with Maye in the paint, he is an improving perimeter defender, but isn’t quick enough to try and defend the Carolina senior when he steps outside the 3-point arc or even outside the paint.
