What will Duke basketball’s leadership look like next season?

New Duke basketball talent is exciting, but experienced guys are essential.

Duke basketball and young/inexperienced teams have become synonymous. So the Blue Devils will be in familiar territory as the 2021-22 season approaches. The program will be welcoming in four new freshmen and will have just one senior who has ever played in a Duke uniform.

Granted, Marquette transfer Theo John will add some much-needed experience. But experience does not always insinuate leadership. I do not know what type of leadership John will bring to the team.
