Filipowski Selected by Utah Jazz in NBA Draft

NEW YORK – Duke sophomore Kyle Filipowski became the 111th Blue Devil selected in the NBA Draft when the Utah Jazz used the 32nd overall pick and the second spot in the second round on the consensus Second Team All-American on Thursday at ESPN's Seaport District Studios in New York.

Filipowski joins Duke teammate Jared McCain, who was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 16th overall pick in Wednesday's first round, in representing the Blue Devils in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Head coach Jon Scheyer now has four draft picks in his two years as the Blue Devils' head mentor. Since Scheyer joined the coaching staff in 2013-14, Duke has produced 30 draft picks, including 23 first-round selections.

In the past 10 years, Duke ranks second in the country with 28 draft picks. Among the most prolific college basketball programs in generating NBA Draft picks, Duke's 111 overall selections positions the Blue Devils as one of just four college programs all-time to surpass 100 picks.
