Q&A With Kevin Dukes

Why did you choose B-CU? "I chose B-CU because Coach Mike Williams made me feel like family. He brought me in and made me feel like I could grow as a basketball player. B-CU also has a very good business program. I tell friends and family that it is tough and our coach is tough, but I feel like we will be very successful."

If You Were Putting Together a 5-on-5 pickup game and you could pick any basketball players in the world - who would be your teammates (not any current B-CU Players)? "Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Shaq. I chose those NBA players who have an extremely hard work ethic and they could teach me things to help my basketball game progress."

Who were influential people in your life and why? "My Mother Marilyn Dukes, because everything I do, I do for her. I want to be successful to give her everything she needs and wants in life. My brother DeMarques Dukes also because he keeps me focused and level headed. He is always there for me and he pushes me to be the best I can be in everything I do."
