Most people knew exactly what they were getting with Mike Dunleavy, Jr.: the son of a heralded coach with an off-the-charts basketball IQ and a sweet shooting stroke. In the 2001 NCAA Championship, Dunleavy hit 3 three-pointers that helped Duke seal the win against the University of Arizona.

After being taken with the 3rd overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft (ahead of guys like Amar’e Stoudamire and Caron Butler), Dunleavy enjoyed a 15-year NBA career, but it was spread out over six teams, and largely as a reserve-caliber shooting specialist.
