Trevon Duval Gets Signed By Milwaukee

Like many college athletes after their first year of college they want to make the jump to the  NBA but for some players getting to the league isn't always easy. 

For Trevon Duval he will go the route that Quinn Cook went through who also is a former Duke guard before he got his chance in the NBA with Golden State who's head coach is Steve Kerr.

The Milwaukee Bucks added a young point guard to their roster Tuesday, signing Trevon Duval to a two-way contract. "according to https://www.foxsports.com/wisconsin/story/milwaukee-bucks-sign-former-duke-guard-trevon-duval-to-two-way-contract-072418

Duval left Duke after just one season with the Blue Devils, averaging 10.3 points, 5.6 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 29.8 minutes per game. He played in all of Duke’s 37 games, starting 34. "according to https://www.foxsports.com/wisconsin/story/milwaukee-bucks-sign-former-duke-guard-trevon-duval-to-two-way-contract-072418
