Turns heads Monday Khamenia contributed 14 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 14 minutes during Monday's 83-52 win over Louisville.

Impact Khamenia scored a season-high 14 points, but more than his contributions on the stat line, he was efficient on both ends of the court while making three of his four three-point shots. Khamenia has been playing off the bench most of the season, however, so even if he's valuable for the Blue Devils, his fantasy appeal isn't very high right now.

Makes second start Khamenia recorded 10 points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 66-60 victory over Michigan State.

Impact Khamenia was moved to the starting lineup in favor of Dame Sarr in Tuesday's victory against Florida, and while he was held scoreless across 12 minutes there, he was back in the starting five Saturday. The results were more favorable here, as recorded his second-best scoring total of the year and season-high in rebounding, falling just one rebound short of a double-double. Given the strong performance and the caliber of opponent, it's safe to say Khamenia's outlook is on the rise, though Duke has a slight break in the schedule ahead, not taking the court again until Dec. 16 against Lipscomb.

First double-digit scoring effort Khamenia logged 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 24 minutes during Friday's 100-42 win over Niagara.

Impact Khamenia has struggled to make a big impact in the Blue Devils' rotation since he's yet to start a game, but he made his presence felt Friday. The freshman forward is averaging 7.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game after putting up his best scoring mark of the campaign in this blowout win over Niagara.
