I think the not producing quality pro players has some validity, especially when you consider where all of those players you listed were drafted and the number of McD All-Americans that come through each year. The only two players that dook has produced that were legitimate top 20 material in any given year were Elton Brand and Grant Hill, and Brand just reached that status this year. Laettner and Dunleavy were huge flops considering where they were drafted. J-Will is an incomplete because of his unfortunate accident, but he didn't light the league on fire like anyone thought he would in his rookie year. Danny Ferry won a championship (did he win two - can't remember) by riding on the coattails of Tim Duncan. He hardly brought anything to the table for that 2003 team. By the way, he's the only NBA champion that Duke has ever produced. Danny Ferry is the only Duke player (at least in the last 20 or so years) ever to get a NBA championship ring. Considering all of their success at the college level, that's a little underwhelming, don't you think?
