Duke Basketball: Ranking the Best Point Guards in Blue Devils History

Duke has almost as much history as any program in college basketball, which means a list of best players at any position is certain to be a good one.With superstars like Johnny Dawkins, Christian Laettner, J.J. Redick and others, it's often easy to overlook the point guards on each roster. However, these are the men who are usually the leaders on the court, making a major impact on both ends even when it doesn't show up on the stat sheet.This list only includes real point guards, so Dawkins doesn't count despite racking up a lot of assists throughout his career. He was one of the best players ever to put on a Duke jersey, but he was a shooting guard.The same qualification can be said about anyone from Jim Spanarkel to Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith. They were primarily 2-guards, which disqualifies them from this list.Additionally, the rankings are based on each player's impact at Duke, not the NBA or anywhere afterwards. Sorry, Kyrie Irving fans.With the rules explained, here is a look at the best point guards in Blue Devils history.Note: Statistics courtesy of Duke's media guide and Sports Reference.Begin Slideshow
