This Duke basketball squad has the pieces to execute small-ball brilliance.

The experience-laden (or at least as close as we can get) projected lineup featured Jeremy Roach, Jordan Goldwire, Wendell Moore, Jalen Johnson, and Matthew Hurt.
As many of our esteemed writers at Ball Durham have already posited, this lineup will have its drawbacks and its advantages.
