Duke Basketball Alum Not Invited to NBA Draft Combine

Duke basketball one-and-done Jared McCain and two-and-done Kyle Filipowski are seemingly certain to hear their names in the first round of the NBA Draft on June 26. Unsurprisingly, that pair of Blue Devils is among the 78 players who received invites to the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, May 12-19, the league announced on Friday.

But there was a third early draft entrant out of Duke in senior captain and four-year starting guard Jeremy Roach, despite rarely appearing anywhere on mock drafts. Unlike McCain and Filipowski, though, Roach left the door wide open on a return to college for his extra year of eligibility, yet noting his desire to test the draft waters.
