Whenever a team has a player as skilled as Cameron Boozer, it's possible that the individual's talents could mask some of the collective group's larger concerns.
One example of this — that is likely on the mind of Duke coach Jon Scheyer — is this question: Who is the Blue Devils' No. 2 scoring option?
Boozer is currently the nation's leading scorer by averaging 23.3 points per game. Duke's next most prolific scorer is shooting guard Isaiah Evans, who sits at just 11.8 points per game.
That's nearly a dozen-point difference between the team's perceived top two offensive threats. For perspective, the last time the Blue Devils did not have two players average at least 13 points per game was in 1996-1997.
But even though Evans is the second-leading scorer right now — and entered the season expected to be an All-ACC talent along with Boozer — it's possible there is a better No. 2 option.
Fellow sophomore Patrick Ngongba II is right there with Evans at 11.1 points per game despite having significantly less usage. Ngongba is shooting 65 percent on just 74 shot attempts this year, while also making four of his 15 three-point tries (26%).
Juxtapose that with Evans, whose field-goal percentage has dipped under 40 percent (39.3%) on 112 shot attempts.
After producing a team-best 41.6 percentage from three-point range last year, his current number is 33.8% this season. That total places him sixth among Duke rotation players from the perimeter.
Other than giving Ngongba more shots offensively, Scheyer would also prefer to see another one of his highly touted freshman take another step, too.
International transfer Dame Sarr (6.6 points per game), Cayden Boozer (6.5 PPG), who is the twin brother of Cameron, and Nikolas Khamenia (6.2 PPG) are all below an average of seven points per game.
Despite the less-than-stellar numbers, Sarr and Khamenia are still projected to be first-round draft picks in next summer's NBA Draft.
But well before then — more specifically, in March — the Blue Devils will need to give Cameron Boozer more help in order for them to earn Duke its sixth national championship.
