Duke Basketball: Season preview for freshman forward Joey Baker

One of the questions entering the 2018-19 Duke basketball season is whether head coach Mike Krzyzewski and his staff will choose to redshirt Joey Baker.

The freshman from Fayetteville, N.C., is the youngest player on the squad — he didn’t turn 18 until September — and was initially a member of the 2019 recruiting class until he decided to reclassify in the spring so that he could be a part of arguably the greatest recruiting class in the history of college basketball (Sports Illustrated highlighted Baker, Tre Jones, Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, and Cam Reddish this week by featuring them on a special digital cover).
