DURHAM, N.C. — The experienced perimeter scoring threat Duke sought to add this offseason is coming to play for the Blue Devils.
Jacob Grandison, a 6-6 small forward who hit 41% of his 3-pointers at Illinois last season, committed to Duke on Saturday as a transfer with immediate eligibility.
A starter for the Illini the past two seasons after beginning his career at Holy Cross, Grandison picked Duke after visiting campus last Thursday. He averaged 9.6 points and 3.8 rebounds last season, starting 23 of the 30 games he played as Illinois went 23-10 and shared the Big Ten regular-season championship with Wisconsin.
