Thank You to my favorite player Luke Kennard for two great years in a Duke uniform! I wish you the best of luck at the next level and will miss seeing you play on the court at Cameron Indoor Stadium but I know you will be back because when you're a part of Mike Krzyzewski's program it's more than just a team you're a part of a brotherhood.  Who will be my favorite player next year?
