Duke in the NBA: Former Blue Devils explode in New Orleans

In his second regular season game in the NBA, Marvin Bagley III showed why he was such a touted player coming out of Duke.

It wouldn’t have been out of the ordinary for a rookie to be very intimidated going up against perennial MVP candidate Anthony Davis, but Marvin Bagley isn’t an ordinary rookie.

Going up against Davis, Bagley scored 19 points, pulled down eight rebounds, dished out three assists, three steals, and one block in 33 minutes of action.

However, Marvin Bagley III wasn’t the only Duke rookie that was on the floor last night in New Orleans.
