Jayson Tatum is definitely a better pro, but Redick is probably the better College hooper

[RonBurgundy]

Us old heads would have said Jay Williams or Chris Duhon for pg, Kyrie was only on the floor for a couple minutes before the injury

I'm a huge fan me and my mom are just starting to get into this dude Joe Ingles playing for him or with him .. He just got beat tonight game 7 versus Cleveland but salute to you dude 🫡

Hard for anyone to argue that. But man, so many good players the past 30yrs.

JJ Reddick, Johnny Dawkins, Shane Battier, Christian Lattnier and Grant Hill

That is almost spot on ! Cannot forget Hurley tuff PG from Jersey City. Let's go Duke.

Gotta have Bobby Hurley or Jay Williams at point, not Kyrie. Kyrie is a great PRO...but at Duke, he only played 11 games. The other 2 have 3 NCAAT championships between them, and Hurley is still the NATIONAL assists leader 30 years later, not to mention a good outside shooter...and Williams was our first true Combo Guard, who could drop 20 or 30 in every game, was absolutely CLUTCH (the "Miracle Minute" at Maryland is one of the greatest comebacks EVER), and could hit from anywhere over halfcourt.

Redick has GOT to go at SG. He still owns the Duke and ACC 3-pt and FT records 15 years later, dropped 40+ multiple times, and with a better team around him, could have easily won back-to-back championships in 2006 and 2007, instead of Florida.

Hill or Battier would be my choice at SF. Hill was one of the most athletic players we've ever had, an unstoppable slasher and high-rise dunker whose abilities seemed supernatural. Battier was the consummate leader and "glue guy", could hit at all 3 levels, won multiple national awards, was one of our best defenders, inside or outside, and was a key part of the 2001 national championship team, not to mention Most Outstanding Player.

Zion HAS to go at PF, period. The most unstoppable force that has ever played college basketball at ANY school, highlight-reel dunker in every game, absolutely UNGUARDABLE (even by 7'6" Tacko Fall), and averaged 22.6 ppg AS A FRESHMAN.

Lastly, Christian Laettner or Marvin Bagley at C. Laettner won every award given out in 1991 and 1992, 2-time national champion, 3-level scorer and defender, clutch shooter and at the FT line, where he was one of the best big-man FT shooters Duke's ever had. Bagley averaged a 21-11 double-double as a freshman, could play 3 positions even at nearly 7' tall, and like Redick...with a solid, deep team around him, he would have EASILY led Duke to a championship that year.

Personally, I would go 3 are national champions, and the other 2 were only our best 3PT and FT shooter EVER and the most Unstoppable Force in college basketball history. All 5 could average 20-40+ pts per game EASILY, all but Zion were top-notch 3-level shooters, and all 5 were clutch players who could carry a team single-handedly (and DID, dozens of times). That starting 5 would beat any other hands-down.

I think you replace Kyrie with Hurley based on what they did at Duke. Bagley got a good case too frfr. Personally my favorite player is JT so I ain’t taking him off but again based off what they did at Duke you gotta have JJ on there at 2😂

[Viewingaccountt]

can you do a video on luke graff(shooting guard) of champlin park

[brooksorlando]

Yeah, he nailed it imo. You can argue Redick and Battier too

[iXiuxe]

JJ Redick, Jay Williams, Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Laettner.

[deanturpin]

Shane battier he is a champion and three times defense a player of the year in college! He starts before zion who only played one year!

[gurusrant]

You don't win a championship without Bobby Hurley.... He knew when to shoot and when to facilitate and when he did shoot it was money. He's just a good shooter as j.j. Reddick but the offense wasn't built for him to just shoot with all those great players around him.

[hoopstatenc]

Elton Brand starting at the 4. Bring Zion off the bench and Shane Battier

[Mastermindmarquis]

Not Having JJ Reddick In The Top 5 But Kyrie is Crazy smh

[mqproductions]

My 2 favorite Dukies of all time always gonna be Quinn Cook and my boy Nolan Smith. 💯

[GrStowe]

K. Irvin
J. Williams
G. Hill
Z. Williams
PB5

[trenton]

Cool list but mandatory to have JJ on there so that means kyrie or Tatum gotta come off

[Idk-omog]

I’ll take it but for me I gotta put Marvin bagley at C.
