The 7-foot-2 big man will have a chance to show how dominant he can be with significant minutes. In only 14 minutes a game, Haas averaged 9.8 points and 3.7 rebounds while getting to the line often. It’s time for Haas to be unleashed in the Big Ten.

With all the recruits coming in, it’s hard to tell how Coach K will play the returners. Very few players in the country can put up points as quickly as Kennard. He is going to be even more efficient when teams focus on the other Duke stars.

Dorsey came in known as a scorer and he didn’t disappoint. The sophomore scored 13.4 points on 41 percent shooting from three last year. With Elgin Cook gone, Dorsey will get even more chances to get buckets.

Allen is still deciding between Texas and Houston. The All-American is big, strong and good with his back to the basket. There is no doubt that he will be a dominant force in college basketball wherever he goes.

An invite to the NBA Draft Combine showed to be a beneficial experience for the young forward. After putting up 15.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists last year, Lawson should be Tubby Smith’s best player in his first season.

You wouldn’t pick Bradds based on the eye-test, but he's as efficient as any player in the country. He shot over 70 percent from the field and was the most consistent player in the OVC, averaging 17.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Swanigan almost left for the NBA where he likely would have gone undrafted. Returning allows him time to work on his perimeter game and slim down so he can play power forward at the next level. For now, he is a skilled big man who can overpower bigs.

Lydon was key to Syracuse’s Final Four run. The sophomore forward is a terrific shot blocker who is a lights-out three-point shooter. As a sixth man he averaged 10.1 points and 6.3 rebounds, so he should put up strong numbers with an expanded role.

Happ made an immediate impact, winning Big Ten Freshman of the Year. He led the team with 7.9 rebounds and 1.8 steals while contributing 12.4 points a game. Happ is only going to gain more muscle this summer to complement his relentless effort.

Like Derryck Thornton last year, Jackson will be the only true point guard on Duke’s team. He is a strong guard who is explosive off the dribble. His playmaking will be tested from the start, but he has all of the ability to start at point.
