Meet Kyle Filipowski, The Duke Phenom Poised to Dominate the NBA

Kyle Filipowski is a promising young basketball player who recently completed his sophomore season at Duke University. Born on November 7, 2003, Filipowski is currently 20 years old as of June 28, 2024.

Filipowski was a highly sought-after recruit, ranked as a consensus five-star prospect and one of the top players in the 2022 class, ranked as high as #7 nationally.

As a freshman at Duke in 2022-23, he made an immediate impact, averaging 15.1 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, leading Division I freshmen with 16 double-doubles.

His impressive performance earned him the ACC Rookie of the Year award.

In his sophomore season in 2023-24, Filipowski continued to excel, earning ACC Player of the Week honors and setting a career-high with 30 points in a game against Georgia Tech.

Despite being projected as a first-round NBA draft pick, Filipowski opted to return to Duke for his sophomore year. However, he ultimately declared for the 2024 NBA Draft after the season and was selected 32nd overall by the Utah Jazz.

There were some questions about Filipowski’s pre-draft process, with reports of concerns about his interviews, workouts, and personal life potentially contributing to his slide in the draft.

Nonetheless, Filipowski’s talent and potential have not gone unnoticed, and he is poised to embark on his professional basketball career.

Filipowski comes from a basketball family, with both his parents playing college basketball. His father, David “Dave” Filipowski, played basketball at Slippery Rock University from 1979–1981, while his mother, Rebecca “Becky” Filipowski (née Hagerdon), played basketball at Long Beach State from 1982–1984.

She was a standout player in high school, scoring over 2,000 career points and leading her team to a New York State Championship. Kyle’s uncle Randall Hagerdon played basketball at Boston College, and his aunt Beverly Hagerdon played at Dartmouth.

While Filipowski’s specific shoe size is not known, his overall net worth is estimated to be around $7.2 million as of June 28, 2024.
