Savarino, Banchero Face DWI-Related Charges

Early Sunday morning, Duke players Michael Savarino and Joey Banchero were hit with DWI-related charges in Orange County.

Savarino was driving and faces a DWI while Banchero is charged with aiding and abetting a DWI.

This is immediately worse for Savarino. Not only is he coach Mike Krzyzewski’s grandson but his mother is Debbie Krzyzewski Savarino. We don’t know her but from all accounts she inherited her father’s fiery personality. The law is obviously his first concern but that’s not the only thing Savarino has to worry about. And obviously he has a unique position on Duke’s roster as Coach K’s grandson.
