Who Should Be in Duke’s Starting Five After What Just Happened?!
Fans Are SPLIT — And You’re Gonna Want to See This For Yourself…
It was just supposed to be another offseason scrimmage — but one clip has blown the lid off Duke Twitter.
A now-viral video from today’s summer scrimmage shows a jaw-dropping sequence where Cameron Boozer blocks a shot, grabs the rebound, outlets it to Cayden Boozer, who whips a behind-the-back dime to Darren Harris for a silky three.
And just like that? The debate over Duke’s starting five is officially on fire.
Fans are divided into factions. Some are all-in on the new wave, led by the Boozer twins and the sharp-shooting Harris. Others say the veterans have earned their place and the young guys need to wait their turn.
So who should start?
Let’s break it down
The Viral Moment Starters:
Cameron Boozer: Looked every bit like the top recruit in the country. His rim protection and transition awareness were on full display.
Cayden Boozer: The chemistry with his brother is telepathic, and his court vision is next-level.
Darren Harris: Lethal from deep. Every time he touches the ball, fans hold their breath.
These three freshmen didn’t just flash potential — they looked ready.
The Veterans Say “Not So Fast”:
Isaiah Evans: The sophomore looks stronger and sharper this summer. He’s talking more, leading more, and finishing with confidence.
Caleb Foster: Duke’s returning floor general. He’s steady, vocal, and knows how to control the pace.
Maliq Brown: The glue guy. His rebounding and defense still make him essential to Scheyer’s system.
Patrick Ngongba II: The big man in the middle. Quietly dominant in the paint with improved footwork and rim presence.
The Fan Debate:
“Start the future NOW!” — Fans who want Boozer twins + Harris in the starting five say their energy and upside are undeniable.
“Respect the vets!” — Others argue guys like Foster, Evans, and Brown have earned their minutes with consistency and leadership.
“Blend it.” — Some fans are calling for a hybrid lineup, mixing young firepower with experienced calm.
