My favorite teams
That IS true...
but let's just focus on Duke.
Under Coach K, 38 Duke players have been drafted by the NBA.
Of those 38, nearly all of the ones that were actually good-great players in the NBA were lottery picks. The only good one who wasn't a lottery pick that I can think of right now is Boozer who was a second round pick.
Meaning all the Duke players that weren't lottery picks weren't very good/didn't help the team much/didn't last long.
That's why I feel that way about duke guys.
With the last pick in the 1st round and another 2 picks before, do you really expect to get another Taj Gibson? Chances are, whoever we pick isn't going to be as good as we want anyway. They'll either not make it, or be James Johnson.
