Duke basketball transfer tracker: Who's staying, leaving and joining?

One-and-dones have guaranteed for years that Duke's roster will undergo major changes every season. Now, with relaxed transfer rules, extra eligibility and NIL money in the mix, each offseason is bound to bring even more adjustments and upheaval.

The transfer portal closed May 11, and some big ACC basketball jumped in.

As the Blue Devils move into Jon Scheyer's second season as head coach, here's a look at the roster changes. This story will be updated as the offseason progresses.

NBA Draft declarations

Dereck Lively II, freshman center: A lanky 7-foot-1 rim protector with a 7-7 wingspan, Lively anchored a strong Duke defense whose improvement led the way for the Blue Devils' late-season surge. Lively averaged 5.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and he was second in the ACC with 82 blocks in 27 games started. He's projected as a late first-rounder in the NBA Draft.

Jared McCain, combo guard: Ranked No. 15 overall nationally in his class on the 247Sports Composite, No. 3 at his position and No. 1 in California, McCain is a five-star and he won the McDonald's All-American 3-point shooting contest.
