Most of the focus in this Duke NBA Draft class has gone to No. 1 pick Zion Williamson, for obvious reasons.
The New Orleans Pelicans rookie is expected to develop into one of
the league’s rising stars. He has a rare combination of size, strength

Beyond Zion

The three 2018 19 freshmen are not the only Blue Devils looking to make a splash this summer.
Marques Bolden, a former five star recruit and center for Duke, went undrafted
https://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/marques-bolden-jersey-c-9.html, but he looked very impressed in his NBA Summer League debut.
Bolden is playing for the rebuilding Cleveland Cavaliers this
summer, and did just about everything you could ask of a young center in
Salt Lake City on Monday night.
Against the San Antonio Spurs
Nick Pagliuca Jersey, Bolden score 10 points on 5 of 5 shooting. He added eight rebounds, and especially impressed with three steals and two blocks.
Bolden never quite became a star at Duke, averaging 5.3 points and
4.5 rebounds per game in his final college season in 2018 19. He was a
valuable role player and defensive presence, and has the size and
athleticism to make a difference at the next level.
He will be back in action tonight against the Utah Jazz.
