Which freshmen could start next year for Duke basketball? Breaking down the path to early minutes

Jon Scheyer will have an entirely new starting five in 2025-26 after the entire starting five from last season's Final Four team departed for the NBA this offseason. After seeing an entire starting group get drafted into the NBA, it's no secret how difficult that will be for Scheyer and his staff to replace.

Beyond that, the rotation in 2025-26 will be extremely young, with most of the offensive load falling on the underslassmen or freshmen. Caleb Foster will start at the point guard spot, but he'll likely be the only upperclassman in the starting lineup.
