Duke basketball: Five takeaways from the Canada tour

Posted Aug 26, 2018
Zion Williamson isn’t the most highly ranked freshman on Duke’s roster, but he’ll be most responsible for the TV ratings. A social-media phenom, his performance in Canada only did more to add to his stardom. Williamson averaged 29.7 points and 11.3 rebounds while shooting 64 percent. Of course, Williamson wasn’t facing the same level of competition he’ll see in the ACC. (Greensboro News & Record)
