North Carolina will be favored as it hosts Duke on Wednesday night, but with all the pro talent the two programs have produced over the years, we got to thinking: Who would win a game between the two schools’ best NBA players?
Of the former Blue Devils and Tar Heels currently on NBA rosters, here’s what we project as the best starting lineup for each team:
Duke
PG Kyrie Irving, Cleveland Cavaliers
SG J.J. Redick, Los Angeles Clippers
SF Luol Deng, Miami Heat
PF Jabari Parker, Milwaukee Bucks
C Jahlil Okafor, Philadelphia 76ers
UNC
PG Raymond Felton, Dallas Mavericks
SG Danny Green, San Antonio Spurs
SF Harrison Barnes, Golden State Warriors
PF Marvin Williams, Charlotte Hornets
C Ed Davis, Portland Trail Blazers
Which program’s current NBA players would you take in this matchup?
