• J. J. Redick (2005) Rupp, and (2006) AP, Basketball Times, NABC, Naismith, Rupp, U.S. Basketball Writers, Wooden, The Sporting News

I would rank Laettner Number 1: has anyone ever hit as many big baskets as Laettner. I would definitely rank him in the top 3 of all time hated players with Chamberlain and Ewing.

I always felt that the current Duke Dynasty started with Johnny Dawkins.

For a comparison, North Carolina has had 10 players named since 2000.

Is coach K really that good.
