For those who may have missed it, in Part IV of our Duke preview, we mentioned that Stanley Borden had been added as a walk-on.
He’s pretty unusual too.
You don’t typically get 7-0 walk-ons at small, academically elite schools. You might at Ohio State or Florida, but Duke? We wonder how many 7-0 guys who aren’t athletes have ever enrolled at Duke.
Can he play?
Well at least a little bit.
Borden played for the Portuguese U20 National Team and the Besiktas J.K. U18 team, a Turkish pro team. According to the Duke Chronicle, he has range and can pass too.
