5/14/24Kyle Filipowski carried a heavy load for Duke this season leading the Blue Devils in points, rebounds, steals, and blocks. The 7-foot-0 center showed improvement finishing on the block, through contact, with both hands. His field goal percentage rose above the 50 percent marker. He also showed processing and passing chops. Duke ran a good bit of offense through him from multiple levels of the floor. Filipowski’s athleticism remains a question, he is not a quick leaper and relies more on his anticipation and feel than twitchiness. However, he is a better defender than his reputation might suggest, but a player with Filipowski’s size who can handle, shoot, and pass has a lot of intrigue.
