“Duke is a veteran guard who is a proven college player,” Byington said. “The most exciting thing about him at Vanderbilt is he is capable of more and is very hungry to show that. He is a two-way player that can impact the game on offense and defense. He knows the SEC and what it takes, so we will lean on his experience and leadership as well.”
