11. Kyle Singler (2007-2011)

Kyle Singler had one of the best Duke careers of all time no matter how you look at it. He helped the Blue Devils win an ACC Regular Season title, three ACC Tournament titles, brought Duke to the Sweet Sixteen three times and helped Duke win a National Championship as well.

Those are just the team accomplishments, Singler was the 2007-08 ACC Rookie of the Year, was named to the All-ACC Tournament team three times, was named the ACC Tournament MVP once, was named to an All-ACC team in each of his four seasons, and he was also named as the Most Outstanding Player in the 2010 NCAA Tournament as he helped Duke win the National Championship.

Singler played a huge role for Duke in each of the four seasons he was in Durham, and that is evident based on the fact that he received All-ACC honors all four years he was there. He held a career average of 16.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game.

Singler was taken with the 33rd overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft and played six seasons in the NBA where he averaged 6.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game.
