Not nowadays with 13-man rosters.It's not "just" you; it's a big club. But, IMO it doesn't make sense to think that Duke, or anybody else, would take a player just to keep them away from another team. Not in basketball, not with only 13 ships available.
Duke takes who they want. Not literally (close), but you know what I mean.
However, in times past, with rosters of up to 18, it was done. I give you John Wooden grabbing Sven Nater, to sit on the bench behind Bill Walton.
