Ever since Marvin Bagley III committed and reclassified to Duke there have been disagreements on the starting lineup for the Blue Devils. So what are the potential starting lineups?

Scenario One:

NEW YORK, NY – MARCH 10: Luke Kennard
NEW YORK, NY – MARCH 10: Luke Kennard

PG- Trevon Duval, Freshman

SG- Grayson Allen, Senior

SF- Marvin Bagley III, Freshman

PF- Wendell Carter jr., Freshman

C- Marques Bolden, Sophomore

Bench- Gary Trent jr., Freshman (G) , Sophomore (F/C) Alex O’Connell, Freshman (G) Jordan Tucker, Freshman (F) Javin Delaurier, Sophomore (F) Antonio Vrankovic, Junior (F/C) Jordan Goldwire, Freshman (G) Brennan Besser, Junior (G) Jack White, Sophomore (F), Justin Robinson, Junior (F/C)

This in my opinion is what the starting lineup should be next season. It goes away from Duke’s traditional method which is shoot, shoot, shoot. Unfortunately that method does not always work as we saw in the second round of the tournament last year.

By going with this starting lineup they would have a tall starting lineup who does not ride or die by the three, but they can still shoot it.
