The Duke Blue Devils have reeled in what may be the most significant transfer in the program's history.

Duke Basketball Roundup co-hosts Jason Evans and Donald Wine have a complete breakdown of his game and what his presence in Durham will mean for Duke. After the break, the guys switch their attention to another key piece as Sebastian Wilkins has confirmed that he will be back in Durham after a season spent as a redshirt.
