I've been a Duke fan since 1960 and don't know a lot about Duke players before then with the acception Dick Groat, Hack Tyson and Bernie Janicki. What may be interesting is picking out your best Duke players decade by decade from the 1960's until the present year. It is entirely objective of course. I tried to go by position or players that were versatile enough to play more than one. I also know that most of you were not around during the 60's and 70's so you may have to go by reputation or from time to time us old farts talking about how good they were. Now just in case there may be a really old geezer or two that can remember back in the 50's feel free to list them.
