Duke Basketball: Five-Star Recruit Arrives in Durham
Dereck Lively II, the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2022 class, has arrived in Durham and is ready to begin his Duke Basketball career.
Lively is a 7-foot-1 center from West Chester, Pennsylvania. He is considered one of the best prospects in the country and is expected to make an immediate impact for the Blue Devils.
Lively is a skilled big man who can score inside and out. He is also a good rebounder and defender. He is expected to be a key part of Duke's rotation this season.
Lively's arrival is a big boost for Duke, who are looking to bounce back from a disappointing season. The Blue Devils finished 9-16 last season and missed the NCAA Tournament.
With Lively in the fold, Duke should be a contender for the ACC title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Lively is a special talent and he has the potential to be one of the best players in college basketball.
