The Duke Chronicle posted its preview/review (with a grad student transfer take your pic) of Columbia transfer Patrick Tapé.

Nithin Ragunathan sees a solid, ambidextrous big man who is also a solid rebounder. From his article:

Tapé sat out last season to preserve his eligibility while recovering from a toe injury, but his most recent film from 2018-19 shows a highly skilled big man who is willing to take on anyone down low...A quick look at his Columbia tape portrays a fluid post scorer...He’s not just unafraid to back down opposing defenders in the paint, but he actually thrives under close contact because of his ability to finish with either hand close to the basket.
