Duke and McDonald's All-Americans...

I have to thank the poster Tent3 over at TDD (The Devil's Den) for running these stats. Basically, this is a response to the commonly held myth that Duke has had a lot of McDonald's flops.

National

Drafted (either round): 305/600 = 50.8%

First round: 216/600 = 36.0%

Total playing on NBA team: 370/600 = 61.7%

Duke

Drafted: 20/32 = 62.5%

First round: 14/32 = 43.8%

Total playing on NBA team: 22/32 = 68.8%

Interestingly, Kentucky's numbers are below average on all accounts. So if any big-time program should be criticized for having flops that were McDonald's All-Americans, it should be Kentucky.
