Tatum, a highly-touted forward from St. Louis, scored 18 points in Duke’s Blue-White scrimmage on Saturday. He made his first four shots from the field and finished 6-of-11 with two assists, a block and a steal.
The 6-foot-8, 205-pound Tatum is part of Duke’s talented rookie class, which also includes forward Harry Giles. Giles is currently recovering from knee surgery.
