The Preseason AP Player of the Year can be described with one word: dominant.
Although many expected the Blue Devils to beat Division II Livingstone by more than 50 points, the numbers provide reason for optimism as the regular season approaches.
Duke's floor general will be expected to smoothly run the offense as a true freshman, but his skill set should allow him to meet the challenge.
In their first of two preseason exhibition games, the No. 4 Blue Devils proved they plan to live up to the preseason hype with a dominant 115-58 win against Division II Livingstone.
The Blue Devils received a major boost from their freshmen and sophomore guard Matt Jones as No. 4 Duke rolled past the Blue Bears 115-58 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Through 20 minutes of play, Duke has done exactly what it's supposed to—dominate Livingstone.
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski was critical of President Barack Obama's military strategy regarding the ongoing ISIS conflict at an awards ceremony in October.
The senior center is the first Blue Devil to be selected to the team since 2005.

The 6-foot-11 center added to his growing list of accolades Monday, becoming the third freshman in the last five seasons to receive the preseason honor.
After living up to expectations at Countdown to Craziness, the Blue Devils will finally take the court against a new opponent for the first time in more than seven months.
The freshman small forward could be a huge difference-maker because of his unique skill set and powerful 6-foot-6 frame.
The three keys for the Blue Devils in their first exhibition include getting the ball to their dominant big man, keeping their intensity throughout the game and knocking down open perimeter shots.
The duo took in Countdown to Craziness courtside and has appeared very interested in the Blue Devils so far.
