Pepperdine’s Canadian guard with pro-style upside and a silky free-throw touch
Au-Duke is a 6-foot-3 freshman guard from Scarborough, Ontario who arrived at Pepperdine with a strong reputation in Canada and a clear development arc: in his 2024-25 season, he played in 31 games, averaged 1.5 points, and shot 88.9% from the free-throw line, with a season-high 10 points against Northwestern. The eye-catching part isn’t just the box score—it’s the combo of size, pedigree, and coachability, plus a “develop pros” mindset that fits a program looking for long-term backcourt upside.
