As Jon Scheyer embarks on his first season as Duke men’s basketball’s head coach following his seven-year stint as an assistant under Mike Krzyzewski, he will have an important leader from the Blue Devils’ Final Four team returning to the fold.
Rising junior point guard Jeremy Roach will return to Duke, spurning the NBA draft for at least one more season, he announced on his Instagram page on Friday afternoon.
Roach, who emerged as one of the key cogs to Duke’s Final Four run, was not a sure-fire first-round draft pick, but was also no sure lock to return to school.
