UNC vs. Duke: Who's got more game in the NBA

Posted Feb 1, 2010
At first glance, the obvious thing is the Tar Heels would be deeper and bigger. They’d have two true centers in Brendan Haywood and Rasheed Wallace, where the Blue Devils would have none. But NBA games are often decided by which team has the single best player, and that’s Duke. Strange as this sounds, considering he wasn’t even a first-round pick, Carlos Boozer is the biggest matchup problem on the floor. (Raleigh News & Observer)
