Ryan Young is Duke’s steady, low-drama paint anchor
In the 2023-24 season, Ryan Young averaged 2.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 11.8 minutes per game for Duke, while shooting 58.2% from the field; his college career numbers show a reliable big with 158 games played and a 57.9% career field-goal mark. He’s not a flashy stat-stuffer, but he brings veteran positioning, efficient finishing, physical rebounding, and a calm, blue-collar presence that coaches usually trust in short-order minutes. If you need a center who knows his role and won’t try to become a meteor shower, he fits the bill.
