Nikolas Khamenia brings Duke a versatile 6-8 connector with quiet efficiency
Khamenia is a long, skilled forward/guard who gives Duke lineup flexibility, steady rebounding, and perimeter shooting touch; in the 2025-26 season, he averaged 5.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 19.7 minutes while shooting 44.4% from the field and 34% from three.[2][4][8] He is not yet a high-usage star, but his value is in fitting next to better creators, defending multiple spots, and doing enough of the little things to stay on the floor. He profiles as a useful fit for teams that want length, basketball IQ, and low-ego versatility.[4][6][14]
