Duke Basketball: Tre Jones will be ideal mentor for Boogie Ellis

Of all Tre Jones‘ likely teammates next season — including shooting guard Cassius Stanley, who announces his college choice on Monday — Boogie Ellis has the most potential to someday replace him as the Duke basketball program’s starting point guard.

Now, assuming Jones leaves after next season, it’s possible a 2020 recruit could arrive in Durham to take over his role. And Ellis, a four-star combo guard who was the second addition to the Blue Devils’ 2019 class, may end up finding more minutes at shooting guard than point guard both next season and beyond.

That being said, the only true point guard from the 2020 class holding a Duke offer at the moment is Jeremy Roach, whom most experts believe Kentucky and Villanova are the favorites to land.
