Duke Basketball: Marques Bolden faces ideal situation with Cleveland
Despite going undrafted, former Duke basketball center Marques Bolden landed with the perfect franchise to give him a reasonable shot at making an NBA roster.
Marques Bolden, who opted to skip his senior season as a Duke basketball player in order to fulfill his NBA dream, did not hear his name at the NBA Draft on Thursday. But his dream did not come to an end.
Hours after watching former teammates Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, and Cam Reddish all walk across the stage as top-10 picks, the 6-foot-11, 250-pound center from DeSoto, Texas, inked a deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers as an undrafted free agent, per a tweet from HoopsHype’s Alex Kennedy.
