Duke basketball should swipe this guard in the transfer portal from its rival program
There’s even been some talks that Isaiah Evans could leave Durham after the season as well. He’s mainly seen as a second round pick in most 2025 NBA mock drafts, but it’s been reported that his portal interest will be large if he decides to enter.
However, with the potential of losing a lot of key backcourt guys, Cadeau would be a fantastic replacement as Duke’s starting point guard next season.
Cadeau isn’t an elite scorer, but he doesn’t have to be to
be effective on this Duke roster next season. He’s an excellent passer and a good defender, which fits the makeup well of a Blue Devil point guard.
The sophomore led the ACC in assists this season with 231 and was second in the conference in assists per game at 6.2. If the Blue Devils can keep Evans around, Cadeau would be a fantastic lead guard to find the sharpshooter at any spot on the floor for an open outside look
The one knock against potentially bringing Cadeau in is that Cayden Boozer, a four-star point guard who is part of Duke’s 2025 recruiting class, is a very similar player to the former Tar Heel. But, the experience Cadeau would bring from a high-level program would likely bring him into a starting role. And with other elite scorers coming in next season like Cameron Boozer, or shooters like Nikolas Khamenia, Cadeau would be a phenomenal replacement for James or Proctor as Duke’s lead guard next season.
