Duke University men's basketball coach Jon Scheyer has secured a significant addition for the upcoming season by signing former Wisconsin guard John Blackwell. Blackwell, who spent three seasons with the Badgers, had an impressive final year, earning All-Big Ten honors while averaging 19.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. He showcased his shooting skills by hitting nearly 39% of his three-point attempts, taking over seven shots from beyond the arc each game. His experience and scoring ability are expected to make an immediate impact on Duke's starting lineup, where he will join returning players Cayden Boozer and Patrick Ngongba. Last season, Duke finished with a remarkable 35-3 record and reached the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament, falling short against UConn. The addition of Blackwell is anticipated to bolster Duke's chances in the upcoming season.
