While much of the Duke basketball family congregates in Durham, incoming freshman Patrick Ngongba II is preparing to represent the USA.
The likes of Gene Banks, Robert Brickey, Cherokee Parks, Grayson Allen, and Paolo Banchero are in town for this week's K Academy, an annual Duke basketball fantasy camp and a tradition in bringing together past, present, and future
Of course, retired five-time national champion and camp namesake Mike Krzyzewski is in attendance, along with Jon Scheyer, boasting a 54-18 overall record entering his third year at the helm, and his assistants.
Undoubtedly, though, the player has an excused absence. Incoming Duke basketball center Patrick Ngongba II performed well enough at the USA Basketball training camp in Colorado over the weekend to secure a spot on the 12-man Team USA roster for the FIBA U18 AmeriCup in Buenos Aires, June 3-9.So, Ngongba will have to miss out on K Academy this go-round.
