Duke Basketball: Blue Devils ranked behind Kentucky in best NBA players

By now most of you have seen the ESPN article where the title states that it ranks the “colleges that produce the most potentially impactful NBA players”, which is a very confusing title in itself.

Are you ranking the best players in the NBA that come from one NCAA basketball program or are you ranking the best individual prospects to come out of one school regardless on whether they pan out or not in the NBA?

Before unveiling the rankings, ESPN editor, Rachel Marcus, highlights that Duke could have three players selected in the Top-10 in Thursday’s NBA Draft; Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett, and Cam Reddish, for the first time since the Florida Gators had three players selected in 2007.
