If you have Giles injury history, do you risk another year in college? I also think Kennard should declare, since his stock is about as high as it's going to get(imo). As for Allen, I really think Duke will try and push him out the door so they don't have him around next year ruining chemistry with his antics.

Why not many stars but Duke players have earned over a billion dollars in the NBA
Are you a Duke fan topps? This is not an attack just putting what you've said into perspective. You say Duke players have earned a billion......in the Cal era alone, UK has reached that Mark. Think about that lol
It is an amazing stat.

Quick, name at least two Duke players thriving as a star in the NBA, I can only think of Kyrie.
I see your point.
My point is if you can hang onto an nba roster, if only for a few years, you will be a very rich man, at least by my standards.

Jabari Parker is averaging 20, 6, and 3. But your overall point is accurate. Parker and Kyrie are about it from an elite/fringe elite level.
Only problem with Jabari becoming a star is that just blew out his ACL.Hve to wonder if he can recover from a second one

Parker was playing really well before tearing his ACL. Even Austin Rivers has started looking like a viable NBA player since he got to the Clippers. I thought Winslow would be better than he has been.

UP until two or three years Duke alums were making more money in the NBA than any other school. We lost that with the retirement of Brand and Boozer.Are your players at the billion dollar level yet? I know you will be there pretty soon.

I sure hope Jeter doesn't transfer. I love for players like him that are terrible playing for duke and listening to bilas telling us over and over how great they are, and how much better they are with all they have learned under the great rat.

As of JULY 1ST 2015, Cal's UK players alone surpassed $700 million.

We will blow 1 billion out the water soon.

KAT and Booker will get insane contract.

Some of earlier Cal players will also get enormous contract upgrade too. Wall, bledsoe, Boogie for example.

Even player like Tyler Ulis should get a nice contract after Rookie Season.

Give 5 more yeras, and Cal's players from UK will get close to 1.5 billion worth of contract pay.

Tatum is a very nice player.....also like Kennard and I hope he has great career. Kennard plays with heart....even if he is from Puke.
