    MINNEAPOLIS — Tre Jones will return to Duke for his sophomore season, and it could have a domino effect on R.J. Hampton.

    The 6-foot-5 Hampton out of Little Elm, Texas is considering Duke among his top four schools and wants to have the ball in his hands immediately with his new team. If he reclassifies to 2019, still a strong possibility, that won’t happen at Duke, unless Jones slides over to the two.

    “I’m sure people are going to look and see what Tre is going to do, that’s [R.J.’s] position,” Rod Hampton said in Minnesota Saturday at the USA Basketball mini-camp. “And Tre’s a very, very good point guard and I think he is a pro.”

    Said R.J.: “With Duke, if Tre leaves, that is something I would look into. I have to talk to my family. But that’s definitely something I would look into.”
