Overview
- Khamenia, who announced his decision Saturday on social media, will transfer from Duke to UConn.
- The rising sophomore played 38 games with five starts and averaged 5.7 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 34% from three.
- UConn projects him as a starter at forward with three years of eligibility, joining fellow sophomore Najai Hines in a reworked frontcourt.
- The move is a blow to Duke’s depth as it follows guard Darren Harris leaving for Indiana earlier in the week.
- Analysts once viewed Khamenia as a possible first-round pick, and they see a bigger role at UConn as a chance to rebuild that draft stock.
