Gamecocks Hire NBA Front Office Pro, Duquette

0:00On April 22nd, South Carolina men's basketball just leveled up their front office game by snagging David Duquette from the Charlotte Hornets. Gamecock Central broke the news first, and the state confirmed it Wednesday. Duquette starts as a consultant, diving into every part of the program to help rebuild. Coming off a rough 13 and 19 season, head coach Lamont Paris got to keep his job, but they lost assistance Eddie Shannon and Will Bailey. So far, Paris only brought in one replacement, veteran Bob Dunnwall Jr. as the new assistant coach. Duquette brings serious heat with 14 years in the Hornets front office, including the last two as senior director of salary cap strategy. Leave folks have been hyping his sharp strategy skills for a minute now. This marks the first time Paris has added someone like a general manager to sharpen their roster building machine, which has been lagging. With Duquette on board, the Gamecock slip primed to flip the script and compete harder next season. Stay locked in for how it plays out.
