Duke basketball star [autotag]Tyrese Proctor[/autotag] will return to Durham for the 2024-25 season, making him one of two Blue Devils starters back in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Australian guard led the team with 3.7 assists per game last season, but some inconsistencies as a scorer and a shot-creator meant he couldn’t capitalize on the lottery promise he brought to Duke.
Unless he takes a leap as a junior in 2024-25. And according to one NBA scout after the 2024 Chris Paul Elite Camp, that might be what’s coming.
Jon Chepkevich, the Director of Scouting for DraftExpress, raved about Proctor’s performance at the offseason camp.
“Proctor showed encouraging signs of progress,” he wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Knocked down shots, facilitated with poise, and used his size to his advantage defensively. Looks to have added some strength to his frame.”
He accompanied the takeaway with a quick highlight compilation of Proctor’s performance at the camp.

Standing out at the Chris Paul camp is no small feat. College stars like North Carolina‘s RJ Davis and Elliot Cadeau, Wake Forest’s Hunter Sallis, and Indiana’s Kanaan Carlyle all made the trip, as did Proctor’s future teammate [autotag]Sion James[/autotag].
