Frank Jackson, Transitioning From Utah To Durham, Duke Took Sometime

A season ago Mike Krzyzwski had a true point guard that is not the case for this years team preseason number one team in the country. This year Duke doesn't have a true point guard but Duke does have  a combo guard in Frank Jackson who can play either  point guard or shooting guard.

Frank Jackson is from Alpine Utah and "according to http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/2016/10/6/13159244/frank-jackson-settling-in-at-duke going from Utah to Duke was big change because of the weather in the summer here in North Carolina we have  high temperatures and humidity which he wasn't used to yet. Frank Jackson also has gotten used to area and has been  getting comfortable with his new teammates.

What position will head coach Mike Krzyzwski put him at on the floor ? Shooting guard or point guard? How will Frank Jackson do in  his first couple games  when the season begins?  Will he be in the starting line up?  Will he come off the bench ? These questions are yet to be answered but will be answered soon enough.
