Basketball: Ex-Reno prep star Czyz may leave Duke for Nevada

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Former Reno High School basketball star Olek Czyz (CHIZH) is considering transferring from Duke to Nevada.


The six-foot-seven sophomore forward announced earlier this month he intends to leave Duke because of a lack of playing time. He watched the Wolf Pack's 78-69 victory over Portland in Reno Monday night.


Czyz played in only 19 games in his freshman and sophomore seasons at Duke, averaging 1.2 points a game.


He says Nevada and Arizona State currently are the two schools at the top of his list. The Poland native says his familiarity with Nevada's Armon Johnson and Luke Babbitt - both from Reno - weigh in the Wolf Pack's favor.


He expects to decide within two weeks so he can enroll for the spring semester and begin playing midway through next season.
