The Duke are set to generate $10.5 million in salary cap flexibility by parting ways with inside Kyle Filipowski Campbell this Wednesday.
The latest feature in the Chronicle shines a spotlight on the esteemed Kyle Filipowski.
Filipowski’s sophomore season had its share of highs and lows, as is common, but overall, he performed admirably.
Transitioning from forward to center, he handled the change with aplomb and showed significant growth. While his spin move was remarkably quick last year, he sometimes lacked the discernment of when to execute it, leading to turnovers against vigilant guards.
However, he has since rectified this issue and developed a better understanding of when to employ his spin move effectively.
Moreover, his passing abilities occasionally dazzled observers with their precision and vision. His strength allows him to execute sharp cross-court passes, a skill not possessed by everyone, and his basketball IQ enables him to perceive opportunities that elude many of his peers.
Nevertheless, he still encounters challenges finishing around the basket, particularly due to his limited vertical leap. Conversely, he thrives outside the paint, where he can drive, distribute the ball, or shoot from beyond the arc.
Considering his rebounding prowess as well, Filipowski promises to be a valuable asset for any NBA team fortunate enough to draft him.
