In its usual star-studded recruiting class, Duke added two big men projected to play major roles on this season’s basketball team.
The fact they are both considered centers, one standing 7-foot-1 and the other 6-11, isn’t a problem for Duke’s coaching staff or the players themselves.
That’s because Dereck Lively and Kyle Filipowski chose Duke because they wanted to play together, and they have the versatility to make it work.
