Duke guard Tyrese Proctor, a former five-star prospect from Sydney, Australia, will return to school for the 2023-24 season, the freshman announced Monday on social media.
Proctor was named to the ACC All-Freshman team after averaging 9.4 points, 3.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds on 38.1% shooting from the field in 36 games. He scored a team-high 16 points in the Blue Devils’ loss to Tennessee in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The 6-foot-5 guard attended the NBA Global Academy in Australia before committing to Duke last June. He is among 14 known foreign-born players to play with the Blue Devils, including three from Australia.

Proctor was viewed as a borderline first-round pick this year. He will have the opportunity to improve his overall game next season with the Blue Devils and climb teams’ draft boards. He has an overall game that should translate well to the next level.
Underclassmen have until April 23 to declare for the NBA draft.
