Ground Breaking: Christian Laettner Send 2 Shock Words Message To Cooper Flagg After

Tyrese Proctor is showing the NBA what Blue Devils have always known
Former Duke Blue Devils guard Tyrese Proctor has shown the NBA that he’s more than just a scorer, and it might pay off after this summer.

Tyrese Proctor was a rare breed of Blue Devil basketball players. The guard actually stuck around in Durham for three years and was a leader throughout his entire tenure at Duke.

Proctor never quite reached the caliber that one-and-done stars like Cooper Flagg and Zion Williamson did, but he was a star for the Duke Blue Devils in his own regard. Now, he’s showing the NBA exactly why the Cameron Crazies loved him so much.

Since being selected 49th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Proctor has played in three NBA Summer League games, averaging 11.3 points per appearance.

Most recently, Proctor started in the Cavs’ game against the Miami Heat, and while he scored the fewest points so far this season, he continued to prove to the NBA that he is more than just a shooter.
