Marvin Bagley III dominated the Duke Blue Devils roster this season. Leading a team with five potential NBA Draft selections in both points and rebounds.
In recent memory, Duke has been fortunate enough to recruit several quality forwards and big men. Players like Jahlil Okafor, Jabari Parker and even Mason Plumlee were recognized by NBA scouts for their talents, all becoming first round NBA Draft picks.

He relished the spotlight and blossomed into a legitimate top-three draft selection candidate during his freshman campaign. Here’s at look at Marvin Bagley III’s game in a full, in-depth player profile showcasing his strengths and weaknesses as an NBA prospect.
