In honor of Coach K's last game at Cameron this weekend, I thought this would be an interesting discussion.
Who do you feel is the best Duke player of all time? Probably need to separate College and NBA since so many Duke greats fizzled in the pros.
IMO, the greatest college players were Christian Laettner and Jay Williams. People seem to forget how great Jay WIlliams was and if he didn't stupidly buy a motorcycle I think he would've been an all-time NBA great as well. And you'd have trouble finding any players at any program more accomplished in college than these two.
In the pros it's gotta be Grant Hill or Kyrie, definitely two of the most talented to ever play at Duke, but I'm sure there are many i am leaving out.
Who ya got?
