Duke, looking to solidify depth in the front court has landed Marquette transfer Theo John. Johnson played 4 years at Marquette under coach Steve Wojciechowski where he averaged 5 points a game (8 points in his final season), 1.5 blocks and 5 rebounds. Theo hails from Minneapolis and played with Tre Jones and Gary Trent Jr. during their AAU careers.
The 6’9, 255lb PF/C could provide some experience in the paint to push rising sophomore Mark Williams and could also provide minutes behind Paolo Banchero and Henry Coleman at the other forward positions with the style of play that Duke probably expects to run fresh bodies in the post will most likely be at a premium and this addition fits that narrative.
