Brotherhood Summer League Update!
Former Blue Devil Maliq Brown was in action Saturday night for the San Antonio Spurs in Summer League play, and the Spurs gave him 24 minutes, and he produced: Brown got 8 points and 8 rebounds, 4 of them offensive, and also had 2 steals and 1 block. Clearly, he’s making an impression. Also making […]
Amile Jefferson Update!
It was a bit surprising, at least to us, when Amile Jefferson left Duke for the Boston Celtics, but it’s clearly worked out well for him. Currently, the Celtics have him coaching their Summer League team in Las Vegas, and that’s just a chance to learn more. In this article, he talks about learning from […]
YouTube Gold: Grayson Allen’s Star Turn Against Wisconsin
Today, Grayson Allen is a valuable asset in the NBA, a strong, athletic guard who shoots threes as well as anyone in the league. When he came to Duke, though, he was a bit of an afterthought. Justise Winslow, Tyus Jones, and Jahlil Okafor were the big recruits. And for most of the season, people […]
Gary Trent Gets Paid
Good news for Gary Trent Jr., as the former Blue Devil signed a huge contract to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks. By NBA standards, Trent was not really making very much the last few years. He had the league minimum in 2024, and then signed a two-year deal for $7.5 million. Now, he’s got a […]
Twitter Gold: An Outdoor Workout For Duke Basketball
As the tweet says, Strong Man Fridays are back! And while there is no Cameron Boozer in this group, nonetheless, there’s some pretty serious power on Duke’s roster. The cuts on this video are pretty quick, but a few things we noticed: You probably don’t want to get on the wrong side of Drew Scharnowski. […]
Drew Scharnowski Is A Wonderful Luxury For Duke
Duke is going to have a very deep team this year, not least of all in the frontcourt. We’ve talked about this a few times already, but this article focuses on Drew Scharnowski, and he’s worth a closer look. Duke will have Pat Ngongba back (6-11/250), and also brings in Cameron Williams (6-11/200) and Joaquim […]

ACC Preview #3 – Wake Forest
ACC Preview #1 – UNC || ACC Preview #2 – NC State It’s tempting to say, poor Steve Forbes. Like NC State and UNC, Wake Forest is in a near total rebuild. Unlike his in-state rivals, Wake Forest has had a tough time adapting to the new environment in college basketball. Wake doesn’t publicize its […]
The Secret Behind Maliq Brown’s Quick Hands
Duke fans probably feel like they know Maliq Brown pretty well, and, well, yes, they do. He was a brilliant and dominant defender during his two years as a Blue Devil, and emerged as something of a folk hero for Duke fans. But in this article, we learned something we never knew. You might have, […]
ACC Preview #2 – NC State
If UNC’s team is tough to get a grip on with all the changes, what about NC State? It’s not much easier, because it’s had a ton of change, too. Everyone in Raleigh was shocked – shocked! when Will Wade checked out after a year, but maybe they shouldn’t have been, because for most of […]
YouTube Gold: How Many Shots Did Wilt Chamberlain Block?
Wilt Chamberlain is still all over the NBA record book, with about 72 records, including 68 he holds alone. For a couple of easy examples, in 1961-62, he averaged 48.5 minutes per game, due in part to overtimes. For another, in a career that stretched from 1959-1973, he never fouled out. That’s 1,205 games. And […]
2026 ACC High School Recruits
It used to be a lot easier to put together a list of high school recruits, but between the portal, international recruits, and reclassified players, it’s gotten to be a much more complex situation. Really, it’s gone from recruiting season to roster-building season. Some schools hardly bother to recruit high school players anymore. So far, […]
Ricky O’Donnell Raves About Duke’s Boumtje Boumtje
After his star turn with Team USA in the FIBA U17 tournament in Istanbul, the opinions on Duke freshman Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje have skyrocketed. Most recent example: our SB Nation colleague Ricky O’Donnell, who has some rather lavish praise for the Duke freshman, republished here on DBR. This is his headline for his column about […]
A Former NBA Player On Cameron Boozer’s Future
Brian Scalabrine has an interesting history with Duke Basketball. When he was at USC, the Trojans lost to Duke in the 2001 Elite Eight, 79-69. That Duke team went on to win the national championship. He was never a great NBA player, but Scalabrine played 11 years and was respected. He spent five seasons with […]
Twitter Gold: Austin Rivers Gets Heated
We don’t know the entire circumstances of this video, but this guy is talking to Austin Rivers and disses his NBA career, and Rivers is just not having it. We’ll have to go with Rivers here, and not just because he’s a Duke guy. It’s because he actually played in the NBA and has some […]
ACC Portal Tracker
Latest ACC pickup: Loyola Marymount’s Jan Vide to Virginia. Here is a list of ACC high school recruits, and some international signees too. BOSTON COLLEGE OUT IN CAL OUT IN CLEMSON OUT IN DUKE OUT IN FLORIDA STATE OUT IN GEORGIA TECH OUT IN LOUISVILLE OUT IN MIAMI OUT IN NORTH CAROLINA OUT IN NORTH […]
JoJo Arrives In Cameron
Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje is on campus at Duke after a very successful run in Istanbul with the U17 Team USA. The U.S. won gold, and Boumtje Boumtje, who was already moving up in virtually everyone’s estimations, just made a huge impression. Here’s a picture of Jon Scheyer showing him around Cameron Indoor Stadium, and perhaps […]
ACC Preview #1- UNC
We always start our ACC previews with the Big 4, and of those, we always put UNC up front. That’s partly because we know our neighbors best. You get a snootful around here. Well, that’s out the window. Who the hell knows what to expect now? Since 1961, despite ups and downs the Dean Smith […]
YouTube Gold: Argentina’s Astonishing Comeback
First things first: we didn’t watch the whole match, so while Egypt made its anger clear about calls and non-calls, we don’t have an opinion on that here. Did they get bad calls? Maybe. Couldn’t say. The key thing though is that Argentina, down 2-0, scored three goals after the 78-minute mark, and whatever complaints […]
Brotherhood Podcast #77 – Caleb Foster & Drew Scharnowski
The latest Brotherhood Podcast is out, and Caleb Foster is back to interview new Blue Devil Drew Scharnowski. Scharnowski of course comes over from Belmont. He’s probably stronger than most people realize, and bears a slight resemblance to Cooper Flagg. If you didn’t know better, you might they’re cousins. Here’s a quick excerpt from #77: […]
The Scariest Thing About This Duke Team
In our YouTube Gold today, we featured Cameron Williams and touched briefly on having both Williams and Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje on the roster, and alluded to the challenge of having this much talent and what to do with it. We’ve talked before about the depth of this team, but let’s list it again: The first […]
Monday Night’s Summer League News
In Monday night’s NBA Summer League play, former Duke star Cameron Boozer continues to impress. He finished the game against Utah with 18 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, hit 4-5 on his threes, and shot 6-9 overall, and did that in 27 minutes. In a related note, former BC big man Quentin Post has signed […]
YouTube Gold: Cameron Williams
Duke fans are understandably gleeful about the seemingly sudden rise of Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje. The kid was a sensation in Istanbul in the FIBA U17 World Cup. But he was simply better than anyone else there, and no one really knows what that means. Were the other players around the world mediocre this time? It […]
Maliq Brown Snuffs One!
In his second NBA Summer League game, the former Blue Devil didn’t offer much offensively, but his defense is what Duke fans have come to expect, and then some. And that, he had plenty of. One play in particular is going to get lots of oohs and aahs from fans and probably some from his […]
Twitter Gold: Boumtje Boumtje Video From The FIBA U17 World Cup
There has been a sort-of theme in stories about Duke Basketball next season that goes something like this: well, they won’t have Cooper Flagg or Cameron Boozer this time, so… Well, maybe, maybe not. Duke had a really solid group for next year and then managed to sign Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje. An American citizen, Boumtje […]
