37. Justise Winslow (2014-2015)

Justise Winslow played only one season with Duke, but he made a MASSIVE impact in that one season. Over the course of the 2014-15 season, Winslow averaged 12.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, with an impressive field goal percentage of 48.6, plus a 41.8 3-point percentage.

However, Winslow etched his name in Duke History for his performance in the 2015 NCAA Tournament. Winslow averaged 14.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game during the 2015 NCAA Tournament, as he helped the Blue Devils win their fifth National Championship, and he was named to the NCAA All-Tournament team in doing so.

Winslow was also named to the ACC All-Freshman team that season as well. Winslow was taken with the 10th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Miami Heat, but injuries have stopped him from making a significant impact in the NBA.
