Tyrese Proctor getting in NBA draft
Tyrese Proctor’s time with Duke is concerning an end and with it, the last player from Jon Scheyer’s first recruiting class is leaving.
Duke’s junior guard revealed Friday night that he is entering the NBA draft after spending the previous 3 seasons in Durham.
The 6-6, 183-pounder came to Duke early in the Class of 2022, one of 7 players in Scheyer’s first class. He reclassified to get here a year early after Trevor Keels chose to remain in the NBA draft.
The Australian import scored 12.4 points per game this previous season, 3rd on the team and a career high. He hit 1,000 career points in a late-February game at Miami and has scored an overall of 1,143 points.
Proctor has actually been one of the most trustworthy players of Scheyer’s period. In 3 seasons, his typical minutes per game have actually been 29.4, 30.4 and 29.9; he has actually played in 106 of 111 games throughout the past 3 seasons, beginning 97 of them.
It’s inevitable to discuss Proctor without talking about his performance in the last game of Duke’s last two seasons.
In Duke’s Elite 8 loss to N.C. State two seasons back, Proctor was scoreless and 0-for-9 from the field. In Duke’s Final Four loss to Houston this past season, Proctor had seven points on 2-for-8 shooting; he missed the front end of a 1-and-1 free-throw with 20 seconds left. On the miss out on, Cooper Flagg was called for a foul, which caused Houston taking its very first lead in about 35 minutes of game time.
Proctor is the second NBA draft entrant from Duke, joining Kon Knueppel (announced Wednesday). This decision all however guarantees Duke has a new starting-5 next season, presuming Flagg and Khaman Maluach both go into the draft. Sion James is out of eligibility.
The early entry due date for the NBA is midnight of April 26. The NBA Draft Combine will be May 11-18 in Chicago, with the lottery game to be held May 12.
Ten days after the conclusion of the combine, May 28, is the due date for college players to withdraw their names from the draft and keep their college eligibility.The NBA draft is two rounds– the very first is June 25, and the second is June 26. One small note: There are 59 choices this season since the New York Knicks forfeited their second-round pick.
