Is Jack White Duke's Leader This Season?

After Duke’s blowout win in the Champions Classic in Indianapolis in the regular season opener against Kentucky this question came to mind, Is Jack White who is from Australia and a junior as well as one of Duke’s captains this season the leader of this years team that includes five freshman, three sophomores, four juniors and two seniors?

On opening night of the regular season he certainly did look like a leader as Jack White was constantly communicating with the freshman as well as his other teammates not only on the court but during timeouts as well.

As for Jack White’s production on the court in the regular season opener against Kentucky on Tuesday night the junior played 30 minutes while he was 4-8 on field goals while he was 1-5 from three point range and collected 11 rebounds to go along with nine points. “according to http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore?gameId=401082669

I’m looking forward to seeing how Jack White’s leadership skills as well as his production on the court improve throughout the season and I hope Duke fans in Australia, the United States and around the world are too.
