Can't sleep and I'm thinking about all 5 Duke teams we love that won the title. I wanted to put a list together of the best lineup featuring all 5 teams players.
so here are the parameters:
-can only include players who won it all
-use specific years like '10 Scheyer or '01 Boozer and no repeat players
-also lets go with an 8 man rotation in typical K fashion
Ok so here's mine
G. '92 Bobby Hurley -MOP of the final 4, that year, fired Laettner up at the half after an awful start in the title game, the driver of the '92 Ferrari
G. '01 Jason Williams - NABC player of the year, Gone in 56 seconds, led all tournament scorers at almost 26 per contest, bulldog!
F. '01 Shane Battier- Naismith, Wooden, AP, etc player of the year, Defensive POY, arguably the best leader Duke's had in the K era. Who's your daddy?
F. '92 Christian Laettner- NCAA Player of the year, probably the most clutch performer in tourney history, THE SHOT, shot over 40% from 3 land at 6'11". Just sick
C. '15 Jahlil Okafor- 1st team All American, ACC player of the year, maybe the best pure offensive center K has ever had. JAHZILLA
6. '10 Kyle Singler- MOP of final 4 averaging 20pts and nearly 10 reb, One of the toughest players I've ever seen at Duke and would literally throw his body around to try and help his team win.
7. '15 Tyus Jones- MOP of final 4, "Stones" loves the big moment and bright lights always performing on the biggest stage.
8. '10 Nolan Smith- NDotSmitty makes my list not only because he was an amazing player but he's also one of my favorites. Clutch performer who hit some really big shots in the '10 tourney.
