Duke is getting help from former Blue Devils player and Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum. The school announced Tuesday that the six-time NBA All-Star would serve in a volunteer advisory role for the program as "chief basketball officer." Tatum is currently recovering from a ruptured right Achilles tendon suffered in May during the NBA playoffs. In its release, the school said Tatum's tasks will include in-person visits with the team to discuss development, professionalism and team culture, as well as mentoring athletes in areas such as career management, building a personal brand or managing time demands as a college athlete.
