| I was just glad to find a magazine about Duke basketball. I thoroughly enjoyed the magazine. It was well written and very informative. A must read for any diehard Duke fan.Camille H |
| "I get excited enough about basketball season as it is, but this Guide has been on my screen for weeks now and I'm more excited than ever. Not just about Duke, but the whole league. There are some truly unique and remarkable stats in this book, enough to make you just itch for the games to begin and see how the players do this year. I think my favorite article is the one on athletes and social media, though. I've read it three times already! Great photos, great writing, and lots of both. This is essential. " PlanBee |

Hereâs a factoid for you to mull over: in the long, glorious history of the ACC, only two players have averaged as much as 19 points and 11 boards, Plumleeâs current averages, for an entire season: Ralph Sampson and Tim Duncan.
We saw it in the Philadelphia Inquirer; ESPN picked it up too. Only it's apparently not true as our reader Jack points out:
"This can't be true. Â All I had to do was check Heyman's Duke stats to see that in 1962 he averaged 25.3 / 11.2 (and in round numbers he averaged 25 / 11 for his freaking career). Â There must be others. Â For example there are three others from Tobacco Road:
- 1958 - Pete Brennan UNC 21/11
- 1961 & 1962 - Len Chappell WFU 26 & 30 / 14 & 15
- 1964 & 1965 - Billy Cunningham UNC-CH 26 & 25 / 15 & 14"
Perhaps it should be adjusted to say that only two players in the modern era have done it.
