We can only think of a handful: Tony Rutland, whose mother was Korean, played at Wake Forest, Kihei Clark, currently at Virginia, who is Chinese, Filipino and Black, Isaiah Wong currently at Miami, whose grandfather is Chinese, and of course Filipino Chip Engelland, who played at Duke in the late ‘70s and into Coach K’s first year.
