16. Kyle Filipowski (2022-24)

Stats: 15.8 ppg and 8.6 rpg

His production and usage were the same in both years (started 36 games each), but Filipowski was more efficient as a sophomore, averaging 16.4 ppg on 51% FG shooting. The All-American had eight games of at least 25 points, including 28 points and 14 rebounds against NC State in the ACC Tournament. Filipowski has the rare distinction of leading Duke in scoring for multiple years in the modern era.

Winslow started all 39 games for the 2015 national title squad, shooting 49% from the field and 42% from three-point range. He scored in double figures in 19 of the final 20 games, including averaging around 14 ppg and 10 rpg in the six NCAA Tournament games, including 11 points and nine rebounds to beat Wisconsin in the title game. 

14. Luke Kennard (2015-17)

Stats: 15.7 ppg and 4.3 rpg

After averaging 12 ppg as a freshman, Kennard was the star of the 2017 roster in his following year. He led the Blue Devils with 19.5 ppg with a shooting split of 49/44/86. Kennard had a 35-point game against Maine, along with 16 in the ACC Tournament title win over Notre Dame. He finished with just 11 points in the Round of 32 upset over Maine.

13. Wendell Carter (2017-18)

Stats: 13.5 ppg and 9.1 rpg

Carter started all 37 games in his lone season for the Elite 8 squad, shooting 56% from the field. Carter, part of one of the best frontcourts in Duke Basketball history, had 15 double-doubles, along with a season-high 27 points against Evansville. His 14-point and 12-rebound game in the Sweet 16 win over Syracuse was Carter’s last in a Duke uniform.
