I see J.J. Reddick as being no different.
Well, look at all the guys who have been stars in college and not in the NBA. It's not like Duke is the only college that has stars who don't make it in the NBA. Not all of the McDonalds All Americans go to Duke. The success rate from NCAA to NBA is very low so to just point out Duke doesn't make sense. There are atleast a dozen of college stars moving on to the NBA every year and how many of them actually work out? Exactly. A lot of people like to point at Duke and say "well they haven't had much success in the NBA" but the fact is no college has a great success rate.

You're just a typical Duke hater trying to find anyway you can to put Duke, and it's players, down.

You can talk shit when UConn dominates college basketball for a decade.
