Duke Basketball: Best player ever to wear every Blue Devil jersey number

No. 10: Dick Groat (1950-1952)

Groat was a stats king, especially in his final season. He averaged 26 points, 7.6 dimes, and 7.6 boards in his final year. He won a Conference Player of the Year award as well. Add all this with the fact that his jersey is retired. All this makes Dick Groat the GOAT of the No. 10 jersey.

No. 11: Bobby Hurley (1990-1993)

Bobby Hurley played a pivotal role in Duke’s back-to-back titles, which carries a lot of weight. He also made the all-tournament team. Hurley is an all-time great Duke player. His jersey is also hanging in the rafters. No competition at No. 11.

No. 12: Kyle Singler (2008-2011)

One of the last key players before the one-and-done era got out of hand, Singler did a lot for Duke. He is another player known for his scoring and effort on the court. His NBA career isn’t as big as Justise Winslow, but his tenure at Duke was a strong one.

No. 13: Matt Jones (2014-2017)

Although the 13 isn’t a highly used number in basketball, Jones made it mean something. He was a veteran presence on some good teams. Nothing huge, but he did make a difference for his teammates. He’s respected by fans of the team and did a lot in the championship year.

No. 14: Brandon Ingram (2016)

Another one-timer, Ingram was a highly recruited prospect. He did the most he could in one season. He never won a title, but he put up quality stats and stepped into the NBA. He’s still maturing as a Laker, but he should improve this year.

No. 15: Jahlil Okafor (2015)

Although Okafor hasn’t had the professional career many expected him to have, he still has a lot to be proud of at Duke. His 17.3 points and 8.5 rebounds a game led them to a title. He used his size in the post to embarrass defenders. Duke fans hope he can turn it around in Brooklyn, but he’s done enough in his one season to earn this spot on my list.
