That's a nice stat for Duke. I wonder who has the most overall top 3 picks in the NBA draft

I looked up some of the schools. Here's what I found as far as most top-3 picks:

Duke: 11
UCLA: 11
Kentucky: 7
UNC: 7
Ohio State: 7
Louisville: 6
Indiana: 6
Kansas: 5
Michigan: 5
Syracuse: 4
Georgetown: 4

Kentucky has 8 if you count Kanter.

Awesome stat. I can't wait for RR's spin on this.

I predict, "I'll take no top-3 picks every other year if we get the #1 pick in between."

Did you check with Gary to make sure your numbers are correct? I mean, what about the recruits K stole from UNC.

You can't count Kanter because he never played for Kentucky as I recollect.

Coach K has never stolen a recruit from unc. If hof coach roy williams wanted them they would be tar heels . We Duke fans aren't thankful enough of the players that just aren't tar heel family material. Where would programs like Duke, UK, KU and our defending national champs be without the generosity of hof coach roy williams. We are justb a little too cocky and arrogant for our own good and if we don't start being humble hof coach roy williams will do that for us. OFC

Correct. And so I left Kanter off the list.

Sky,
I was being a smartass. I agree with your statement. I have a friend who text me every chance he gets a UNC this and that. As soon, as I text or teply to him, it's all about Duke stole this and that. Shoulda been UNC....blah blah blah. I'm like good grief!!!
