Duke basketball players Kyle Filipowski and Jared McCain have entered the 2024 NBA Draft, leaving college basketball.

Filipowski, a 7-foot sophomore, earned second-team AP All-American honors and led Duke in scoring with a 16.4 points average over two seasons.

Freshman guard Jared McCain, who averaged 14.3 points, is anticipated to be a mid-first round pick in the NBA draft.

Their departure raises discussions about Filipowski's influence on the draft and broader implications for the NCAA and NBA.

Despite the loss of two stars, Duke basketball remains strong, introducing the No. 1 recruiting class for 2024 under coach Jon Scheyer.

The NBA Draft lottery is set for May 12, with the actual draft event occurring on June 26-27, marking important dates for the basketball community.
