Steve Wojciechowski (1994-98)
Steve Wojciechowski was either a fan favorite or enemy No. 1, depending on what team you cheered for at the time. He never had big numbers (averaged just 5.4 points and 3.9 assists per game in his career) but still made an impact in every game.
Wojo was especially known for his defense, as he was named Defensive Player of the Year in 1998 while averaging 2.1 steals per game.
However, when you lack offensive numbers and never reach the Final Four, there are clearly better options to be high on this list.
Quin Snyder (1985-89)
Going to three Final Fours in four seasons is a major accomplishment for anyone, which puts Quin Snyder high on the list of Duke players. Although he had a smaller role on the 1986 squad, Snyder was an important part of the 1988 and 1989 runs to the national semifinals.
The current head coach of the Utah Jazz wasn't much of a scorer but ranks fifth in school history with 575 assists.
Although Snyder wasn't one of the best Blue Devils ever, he helped continue the upward trend under Coach Mike Krzyzewski during the late 1980's.
Tyus Jones (2014-15)
Irving could become one of the best former Duke players in the NBA, but he had a limited impact at the college level, playing just 11 games. On the other hand, Tyus Jones took advantage of his time at Duke with one of the best single seasons the school had ever seen.
Jones was the steady leader of the 2015 national champions, a squad primarily composed of freshmen. Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow obviously were important as well, but Jones was the catalyst as a pass-first player who was also capable of stepping up in big moments when needed.
He finished his only season at Duke averaging 11.8 points, 5.6 assists and 1.9 turnovers per game. In fact, his 2.86 assist-to-turnover ratio would be the best in school history if he had enough games to qualify.
Fans probably wish he could have stayed longer, but a national title and great stats make him an elite point guard historically.
