Only twice during the 38 seasons under Mike Krzyzewski has a Duke basketball team averaged more than 10 steals per game for a season. Understandably, the rosters from the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons included three masters of the art of the steal: Jason Williams (2.2 steals per game for his career), Chris Duhon (2.1), and Mike Dunleavy (1.6).
The team with the best average — 10.5 per game in 2000-01 — also included a once-in-a-lifetime defensive wizard named Shane Battier (1.8 steals and 1.7 blocks per game for his career).
