Shavlik Randolph is the first Duke guy I can think of , to play for the Celtics in a long time.
I can't think of any Duke guys playing under Doc Rivers at least...
This is always struck me as strange seeing how the Celtics have always valued guys with character and intelligence , I know Ainge had been trying to get Shane Battier for years , but I can't think of any other Duke guys playing for the Celtics
Let's hope Shavlik Randolph can get some real minutes off Doc's bench !

Duke players on Aingeville C's no way no how. Plumlee was not athletic enough yet he scored 20 against Melo . I am so tired of Danny saying he drafts only athletes ,what Duke players are non atheltes??

Celts tried to trade for Rivers on draft night. Sources: Celtics want Austin Rivers
The Boston Celtics are making an 11th-hour push to put themselves in position to draft Duke star Austin Rivers, son of Celtics coach Doc Rivers, according to sources with knowledge of Boston's plans.
