Jahlil Okafor is from Chicago. His childhood friend Tyus Jones is from Minnesota. Meanwhile Justise Winslow is from Houston. Everyone knew about the big man and point guard they came to Duke as a package deal because of their friendship. However once Rasheed Sulaimon was dismissed from the team another freshman put his imprint on the 2014-15 Duke Blue Devils. That guy was versatile small forward Justise Winslow. His game really picked up during the NCAA Tournament. He showed he could be a solid two way player on offensive and defense. Tyus Jones was steady all season and was able to knock down big jump shots, timely free throws and created for teammates. Coming out of Chicago many predicted Jahlil Okafor as freshman of the year nationally and becoming a lottery pick. Don't expect Okafor to fall out of the top two come draft time in June. Most likely either he or Kentucky's Karl Anthony Towns will become the number one pick during the NBA Draft. Duke cut down the nets for the 5th time in the Coach K era as they beat Wisconsin for the National Championship. Duke has their one and down players just like those guys in Lexington the group that's know as the Kentucky Wildcats.
