A clutch addition to the roster
John Blackwell arrived at Duke after a season at Wisconsin in which he posted 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, while shooting 38.9 percent from three‑point range and 85.9 percent on free throws.
His reputation for hitting shots in critical moments, especially from the charity stripe, is expected to give the Blue Devils an edge in close contests.
The program hopes his ability to score at all three levels will translate into more wins during late‑game situations, a priority area identified by the coaching staff.
The team also welcomed another newcomer, adding depth to the backcourt as the season approaches.
