You can't count pro success because he wasn't good enough to play in the NBA? I like how that works.

Was a role player pretty much for 3 years as well. Hard to include him in a top 10 list.

David McClure was a role player. Jon Scheyer was not a "Role player." Someone who starts for three years and finished in top 3 on team scoring for three different seasons is not a role player. Role players do not score 14.9 ppg as a junior.

pro success in general should have no bearing on how good a player was while he was at Duke.

I guess you're right. Too many guys with the numbers (and accolades) ahead of him. But his senior year was one of the most memorable I can remember watching. He's in good company regardless.

Never had a chance. Not like he wasn't good enough. He got a call from 20 teams. Picked one and got hurt.
