Dame Sarr is excited to share the court with this Duke Blue Devil

Duke guard Dame Sarr is eager to play with redshirt freshman Sebastian Wilkins ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Duke guard Dame Sarr expressed his excitement about sharing the court with Sebastian Wilkins for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Despite Wilkins spending the previous 2025-26 season with the Blue Devils, he opted to redshirt his first year in order to focus on development. Sarr praised Wilkins' growth, noting the significant changes he has undergone both as a player and an individual.

At 6'8" and 220 pounds, Wilkins' combination of strength, length, and athleticism could lead to an extended role in coach Jon Scheyer's rotation. During Duke's first preseason scrimmage against Belmont, Wilkins logged 22 minutes off the bench, tying teammate Deron Rippey Jr. for the most minutes played by the Blue Devils' second unit.
