Duke lost a lot but two quality guards return.

Duke suffered heavy losses last spring as nearly everyone either entered the NBA Draft (Jared McCain and Kyle Filipowski) or transferred (Jaylen Blakes, Jeremy Roach, TJ Power, Sean Stewart, Jaden Schutt, Christian Reeves and Mark Mitchell). Only Ryan Young used up his eligibility.
In years past, that would have been a red flag for any program, but it happens a lot today. And while it’s jarring, it’s not that big of a deal. You can replace them in the portal and, in the more traditional way, with recruits.
Duke does return five players: Spencer Hubbard (5-8 senior) is back, as are 7-0 senior Stanley Borden and 6-9 grad student Neil Begovich. None of them are going to have a major impact on the game, but as Justin Robinson demonstrated, a walk-on or lightly used player can still have a profound impact on a group. At a minimum, they know what to do in practice and can instruct their new teammates accordingly. They can also transmit the values of the program.
The other two returnees are likely to start: 6-5 junior Tyrese Proctor and 6-5 sophomore Caleb Foster.
Proctor is an excellent and dogged defender. His offense was erratic at times, especially his perimeter shot. Proctor hit 35.2 percent of his threes, which is not wretched but not ideal. He did get into some good runs offensively, but so far, it hasn’t been his strength. He shot 42.3 percent overall.
He did average 3.7 assists per game and 3.0 boards and his defense, as noted, was quite solid. People criticize his shooting a lot, but that’s fixable. Proctor works on defense. Blakes was the best defender Duke had last year, but Proctor wasn’t bad at all. He’s really dogged on that end. If he can be a more consistent shooter, he’s going to be a major problem. By the way, he looks notably stronger than he has before. That’ll help.
Foster went out for the season after the Wake Forest game on February 24th with an ankle injury. He was a fairly typical freshman in many ways: he lit up Michigan State for 18 in his third game, shooting 7-8 and 4-5 from behind the line.
The game prior, against Arizona, he didn’t score and he didn't hit double figures again until Duke’s loss at Georgia Tech about two weeks later. At times he wasn’t very productive offensively but that’s fairly typical for freshmen.
He had a better campaign from behind the line than did Proctor, shooting 40.6 percent there, and overall he was slightly better at 43.7 percent to Proctor’s 42.3 percent.
He averaged 2.1 apg and 2.4 boards and a respectable 1.1 turnovers to Proctor’s 1.3, although in fairness, Proctor played more minutes (30.4 to 25.4) and had the ball in his hands a lot more than Foster did.
Still, Foster’s instincts were good and Jon Scheyer clearly trusted him to make good decisions.
Our criticism of Foster, if you want to call it that, is that he was probably too conservative. We saw Proctor do some daring things, particularly when he drove. CFOS, as he likes to call himself on the Brotherhood Podcast, didn’t penetrate as much as we thought he would and that’s an area where we think he can improve.
Like a lot of freshman, he was learning an enormous amount and being risk-averse in that environment is probably smart, at least until you establish a role. Certainly he didn’t do any glaringly foolish things.
As a sophomore, we’d expect him to be much more comfortable and productive. Hosting the podcast has pushed what seems to be a quiet young man out of his comfort zone in a good way and he’s really grown as a host. We’d expect a similar process on the court too.
Duke is in a good situation with both Foster and Proctor overall. The Blue Devils won’t be as dependent on them for three point shooting as they were last year, when really only Roach was a consistent threat from behind the line. Proctor or Foster might heat up. Filipowski could too. A random guy might get hot and hit a couple - Mitchell maybe, after his epic slump early in the season.
Both guys are willing defenders and they should be improved offensively, with Foster possibly making a bigger leap.
As noted, they’re both almost certain to start at least at the beginning of the season. If either one falters or is injured though, well, Duke has options...lots of options, actually. And we’ll get to those in Part IV.

Check out the College GameDay crew's picks for the winner of No. 14 Tennessee vs No. 24 NC State.
Tennessee travels to Bank of America Stadium for the Duke Mayo Classic, where they’ll face their first ranked opponent of the season, No. 24 NC State. The Volunteers started strong with a 69-point offensive tirade against Chattanooga, led by quarterback Nico Iamaleava, who threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns in just one half of play. Now, Tennessee faces a tougher test as they prepare for the challenge posed by NC State in this highly anticipated matchup.
As kickoff nears, the College Football Gameday hosts have made their predictions for tonight’s matchup.

BLAKE SCHOWALTER
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- — Quarterback Nico Iamaleava combined for 276 yards and three touchdowns, former walk-on safety Will Brooks had a momentum-turning 85-yard interception return for a score and No. 14 Tennessee trounced No. 24 North Carolina State 51-10 on Saturday night in the Duke's Mayo Classic.
Iamaleava threw touchdown passes to Miles Kitselman and Holden Staes and ran for a 31-yard score as the Vols scored on eight of their 11 possessions with the redshirt freshman under center.
Dylan Sampson ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns as Tennessee (2-0, 0-0 SEC) outgained NC State, 460-143.
North Carolina State quarterback Grayson McCall was limited to 104 yards passing and had three turnovers. The Vols held the Wolfpack to 39 yards rushing on 28 carries.
Iamaleava didn't take long to show off his skillset, breaking the pocket and outracing two defenders to pick up 12 yards on a third-and-7 play to keep the Vols' opening drive alive.
Tennessee would break through on its second drive with a series of short completions by Iamaleava before Sampson raced nine yards up the middle for a touchdown.
After the teams traded field goals, NC State (1-1, 0-0 ACC) drove deep into Tennessee territory before McCall overthrew tight end Justin Joly in the flat and Brooks grabbed the first interception of his career and raced untouched down the left sideline for the touchdown and a 17-3 lead. It was the 10th-longest INT return for a touchdown in school history and the longest since Daniel Bituli’s 97-yarder against Alabama in 2017.
Max Gilbert tacked on a 45-yard field goal at the end of the first half to give the Vols a 17-point lead at the break.
Things quickly went from bad to worse for NC State in the second half.
On Tennessee's opening possession of the third quarter, Iamaleava moved the chains with a fourth-down run and then found a wide-open Kitselman down the left sideline for a touchdown.
Dominic Bailey followed with a strip of McCall and recovered at the NC State 22-yard line leading to Gilbert's third field of the game and 30-3 lead.
And when NC State was stuffed on a desperation fourth-and-1 run in its own territory, Iamaleava put the game away with a burst up the middle on a QB draw with 4:07 left in the third quarter. Iamaleava finished with 65 yards rushing on eight carries.
Iamaleava wasn't all perfect.
His arm was hit late in the third quarter by Davin Vann, resulting in an 87-yard interception return touchdown for Aydan White. Iamaleava threw two interceptions.
Following NC State's defensive score, Sampson would run for a 34-yard touchdown and Iamaleava connected on an 18-yarder to Staes to finish his night 16 of 23 for 211 yards.
The takeaway
Tennessee: The Vols' up-tempo offense was clicking on all cylinders after the game's first drive and their defense was outstanding. This has the look of a team that has the potential to compete for a national championship.
NC State: The Wolfpack offense looked completely out of sync as it managed just 27 yards in the second half and turned it over three times. Unlike last week against FCS school Western Carolina, NC State wasn't able to mount a fourth-quarter rally.
Poll implications
With a strong showing against a Top 25 team, the Vols are likely to move up in the rankings possibly into the Top 10. The Wolfpack can say goodbye to their Top 25 ranking after a lackluster performance last week against Western Carolina and this debacle.
Tennessee: Will be a big favorite on Saturday when it hosts Kent State.
NC State: Returns home to play Louisiana Tech on Saturday.
