Duke freshman guard Trevon Duval has announced that he will enter his name into the 2018 NBA Draft. Duval led the Blue Devils with 207 assists, fourth all-time by a Duke freshman.
“We wish Trevon the very best,” said head coach Mike Krzyzewski. “He showed unbelievable improvement, especially at the end of the year. His athleticism and his ability to guard at the next level will help him. We know that great things will happen for Trevon as he embarks on his pro career and will be watching and supporting him every step of the way.”Duval is the 14th Duke freshman to declare for the NBA Draft.
He joins a group that includes Corey Maggette, Luol Deng, Kyrie Irving, Austin Rivers, Jabari Parker, Tyus Jones, Jahlil Okafor, Justise Winslow, Brandon Ingram, Jayson Tatum, Harry Giles, Frank Jackson, and teammate Marvin Bagley III.
"I loved my time here at Duke and I enjoyed every second of it,” said Duval. “I want to thank all of the Duke fans, thank each of my teammates – they’re all brothers to me, and each of the coaches that have helped me grow as a young man both on and off the court. I hope to be part of the Duke brotherhood the rest of my life.”Duval averaged 10.3 points and 5.6 assists per game, and projects as a late-round pick.
