Highly touted Duke freshman Jalen Johnson is forgoing the rest of the Blue Devils’ season and declaring for the NBA draft. Johnson had three points in eight minutes while coming off the bench for the third straight game. Afterward, Krzyzewski said Johnson was “knocked back” by the game’s physicality but added: “I have confidence in him. The highlight after his return was a huge game (24 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and four blocks) at Pittsburgh. He deserves to be fully healthy for the upcoming NBA draft.”___Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardapLoading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
