Duke has had some wonderful players over the years who dazzled one and all. Johnny Dawkins, Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, Brandon Ingram, Marvin Bagley, Zion Williamson and Paolo Banchero come to mind.
But there have also been a number of players who were...different. More charismatic than most people.
Let’s take a look at a few of those.
- Art Heyman. In the annals of Dukedom, no one is a larger-than-life figure in quite the same way. Heyman was a brilliant talent but a free spirit and a hedonist. If he were alive and in school today, we wonder if he might be diagnosed with ADHD or something along those lines because he always seemed to seek out stimulation and his attention span may not have been the best.
