Duke co-captain Josh McRoberts will enter the NBA draft, he announced yesterday, just a week after his Blue Devils fell in the first round of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Duke men’s basketball Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski is OK with that. “It is time for him to move on to the next level,” said Coach K.
McRoberts was the only player in the nation to average at least 10.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 3.5 assists. He has been projected as an early- to mid-first-round pick in the draft June 28 in New York. (More Duke University stories.)
