photos by ryan freeland / the breeze LEFT Senior guard Ben Louis is the team’s sole holdover from former head coach Dean Keener. A defensive specialist, Louis has provided valuable experience and leadership for the Dukes and is currently averaging 17.4 minutes a game in CAA contests, up seven minutes from his average during the non-conference schedule. CENTER Senior center Denzel Bowles has emerged as one of the CAA’s top professional prospects this year, averaging 15.7 points and 11 rebounds in conference play. This past summer, Bowles participated in Amar’e Stoudemire’s Skills Academy in Chicago, and now many mock drafts project him to be selected in the 2011 NBA Draft. RIGHT Sophomore point guard Devon Moore has been the floor captain for the Dukes all season. After missing last year with a knee injury, Moore has topped his freshman year form thus far. While his scoring has stayed consistent at 10.6 points per game, his assist average is up from 2.9 to 4.5 per game.
