The Importance Of A Player Like Amile Jefferson

A year ago Duke lost Amile Jefferson two months in to the season to a foot injury. Who knew how much it would effect the team till he wasn't available. Jefferson was a prolific scorer he averaged 11.4 points per game to go along with 10.3 rebounds per game before his injury. "according to  http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/61586/amile-jefferson

When he wasn't playing due to injury Duke did not get many rebounds.  according to http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/stats/_/id/150/duke-blue-devils Duke had thirty six rebounds per game a year ago  and without Amile Jefferson and that hurt Duke.  Duke was out rebounded by opponents when Jefferson wasn't  on the floor "according to http://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2016/01/data-digging-evaluating-the-impact-of-amile-jeffersons-absence

Now that Amile Jefferson is back and healthy will he return to form and be Duke's top re bounder that Duke was  missing last season? That question is yet to be answered but will be answered soon enough. 

Welcome back Amile!
