Of the top 9 guys on this list, 7 are 25 years old or younger. The NBA is going to be a great place for Duke kids for a long time to come.

I would take issue with Grayson being ahead of Tyus. Yes grayson starts for a really good team, but he's basically a non-factor in like 3/4 of his games. Tyus is a stud and could be starting on a playoff bound NBA team if he wasn't behind all-world Ja Morant.

I'm impressed that Tre Jones is doing so well, even with a bad team.

Gary Trent has exceeded my expectations. Good for him!

So has Seth Curry. His numbers are outstanding!

I am disappointed for Vernon Carey. I thought he'd develop into a decent pro. He seems to be Europe bound.

I wish that most of these guys had been at Duke more than about 8 months.

There just isn't much room in today's NBA for slow-footed big men, unfortunately. Tim Duncan was the last of a dying breed. Jahlil Okafor, Jabari Parker.... those guys had big offensive games but they just couldn't really compete in today's NBA game in the way people thought they could. I think Vernon Carey is probably a less talented version of either of those guys, so it won't shock me if he can't carve out an NBA career. But i hope he proves me wrong. i've been wrong plenty on this board, one more time won't hurt.

If that is true why was Carey a one and done? I get going after the money but why did everyone seem to think he had to go pro? Why did Cassius Stanley have to go pro? I know he was older but the guy's a trivia question now.
