21. Trevon Duval, PG, Duke
I really want to believe in Duval, which is why he’s still firmly in the top 25. He has everything you’d want in a primary ball handler, except a jumper.
Duval’s shot is bad, and his 26.7 percent clip from deep doesn’t do that justice. His release might be more broken than Lonzo Ball‘s from an aesthetic standpoint. Still, he’s 6-3 with a 6-9 wingspan and all the athleticism you can ask for, making explosive drives to the rim and thriving in transition.
Defense has been an issue for Duval (re: Duke) all season, but he profiles as a plus defensive prospect. His length, aggression and athleticism should make him a pesk against opposing ball handlers, something that — ideally — gives him a solid floor at the next level.
