Duke Basketball: Recent decisions bode well for Blue Devils

The saying “Less is more” applies to the outlook on next season’s Duke basketball roster — which suddenly seems set with 11 scholarship players and three walk-ons.

Had both Marques Bolden and Javin DeLaurier opted to return as seniors — or if three-star Charles Coleman had joined one or both of them in Durham next season — the number of Blue Devils expecting to play would have been more than the max number coach Mike Krzyzewski would likely ever play.

But on Monday night, Bolden announced he won’t be back due to his desire to start his professional career.
