Duke Basketball Seeks Transfer Center to Fill Void: Coach Jon Scheyer Eyes Top Targets in Portal

Duke basketball is in search of a new center following the graduation of Maliq Brown and the potential departure of Patrick Ngongba to the NBA Draft. Coach Jon Scheyer is actively scouting the transfer portal for a true five-man to bolster the frontcourt.

Two promising targets are Anton Bonke from Charlotte, a seven-foot-two center averaging over ten points and eight rebounds per game, and Somto Cyril from Georgia, the top-ranked center with elite shot-blocking skills. These players bring much-needed physicality, rebounding, and rim protection to the Blue Devils.

Fans are excited about the potential additions, as Duke needs to improve its interior presence after relying on Khaman Maluach last season. The team is looking for versatile bigs who can contribute on both ends of the court and potentially open up the floor with their shooting abilities.

Drew Fielder from Boise State is another name to watch, as his forty percent three-point shooting could provide valuable spacing. As the transfer portal heats up, Scheyers decisions could significantly impact Dukes performance in the upcoming season.
