Delaney Thomas is Duke’s efficient, physical two-way frontcourt engine
Thomas has grown into one of Duke’s most reliable forwards, pairing high-efficiency finishing with physical rebounding and active defense. In the 2025-26 season, she averaged 11.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and shot 61% from the floor while ranking second on the team in steals, and she also delivered in big moments with 19 points and 9 rebounds in Duke’s ACC title win over Louisville. Her value goes beyond box-score stats: she brings toughness, draws charges, and provides the kind of steady, high-intensity presence coaches trust in winning lineups.[5][10][13]
