Rothstein has been one of Duarte's most vocal supporters among national media members who have largely ignored this year's Oregon team despite them being one win away from going back-to-back as Pac-12 regular-season champions.

Curious how Chris Duarte would be viewed nationally if he played in the ACC, Big Ten, or Big 12.

One of the best two way guards in the sport. https://t.co/IJue6XJobB

Take whatever perimeter player you want in the Pac-12.

I'll take Chris Duarte seven days a week and twice on Sunday.

On the season, Duarte has put up a Pac-12 Player of the Year worthy senior season averaging 17.4 points on 53.6% from the floor, 44.1% from three, and 80% from the free-throw line.

He has even risen his draft stock to the early first-round according to various experts.

Oregon closes out the regular season against Oregon State on Sunday, March 7th at 5:00 p.m. PT. With a win, the Ducks win the Pac-12.
