One transfer that could fix Duke’s outside shooting problem

After losing both Darren Harris and Nik Khamenia in the transfer portal, the Blue Devils are still eyeing additions to their roster before the 2026-27 season begins.

One area Duke is likely looking for improvements in would be perimeter shooting. Despite winning the ACC Tournament, the Blue Devils ranked 11th in three-point percentage at 34.7% per game.

To make matters worse, three of Duke’s top-six most efficient three-point shooters are set to depart: Harris, Khamenia and Cameron Boozer, who is certain to declare for the NBA Draft.

For this reason, Duke could be after one of the top transfers available, 6-foot-8 forward Milan Momcilovic. Momcilovic led the country in three-point percentage last season, shooting 48.7%. This wasn’t due to a small sample size either, as Momcilovic attempted 7.5 three-pointers per game for the Iowa State Cyclones.

While Momcilovic is likely to test the NBA Draft as well, he could be a great pickup for the Blue Devils if he decides to return to school.
