High school career

A native of Warsaw, Indiana, Plumlee joined his older brothers as boarding students at Christ School in Arden, North Carolina.

During his four years on the basketball team, the Greenies won 139 out of 150 games, winning four consecutive state championships. Plumlee's contribution to the team increased each year. By his junior year, when both his brothers were playing for Duke, Plumlee averaged 8.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game.

As a senior, Plumlee averaged 11.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game. Following that season, the 6-foot-11-inch (2.11 m) Plumlee was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in North Carolina and named to the 2011 McDonald's All-American Game. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

As a senior, Plumlee signed to play for Duke University. [8] Plumlee's five-player recruiting class for Duke in 2011 included Austin Rivers, Alex Murphy, Quinn Cook, and Michael Gbinije. Duke's class was the second-best recruiting class in 2011, according to ESPNU. [9]

College career

In Plumlee's freshman year at Duke, both of his brothers were on the team and Marshall redshirted. [10] He made his debut in 2012–13, but his playing time was limited by a stress fracture in his foot. [10] In Plumlee's junior year (2014–15), he saw limited action, playing 8.5 minutes per game in 30 contests. [10]

By his junior year, Plumlee had developed into a steady inside defender, backing up Jahlil Okafor, a freshman who went on to be the 3rd pick in that year's NBA draft. That 2015 Duke team won the NCAA national championship. [10]

During his final season at Duke, Plumlee served as a team captain along with Amile Jefferson and Matt Jones. [11] Plumlee started all 36 games that year, averaging 8.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocked shots per game.

Military career

Plumlee earned a commission into the United States Army as an infantry officer through Duke University's Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program. He participated in a ROTC contracting ceremony on January 23, 2015, on the court of Cameron Indoor Stadium. [21] Upon graduating from Duke, Plumlee commissioned into the New York National Guard in 2017, while playing for the New York Knicks.

In 2019, Plumlee graduated from Ranger School, with his mother affixing the Ranger Tab, and transitioned to an active-duty military status. According to Plumlee, his inspiration to serve in the military stemmed from his childhood just as his desire to play professional basketball. General Robert Brooks Brown, a retired commanding general of United States Army Pacific, became a mentor of Plumlee's in high school. Both men played collegiate basketball under coach Mike Krzyzewski. [22]

Business career

In May 2022, Plumlee announced that he would be entering the two-year MBA program at Harvard Business School, joining the HBS class of 2024. [23]

[24] They were only the third trio of brothers to play on the same college basketball team at the same time.

His parents are Millard "Perky" (a former Tennessee Tech basketball player) and Leslie Plumlee (a former Purdue women's basketball player who set the school single-game rebound record with 25). [25] [26] [27] The two met at a basketball camp during the summer of 1979. [28] His grandfather Albert "Bud" Schultz played basketball at Michigan Tech (1944), his uncle William Schultz played basketball at Wisconsin–Eau Claire (1971–72), and his uncle Chad Schultz played basketball at Wisconsin–Oshkosh (1983–86).
