Best, most memorable college basketball players of the 2010s

The latest in a long line of Duke villains, Grayson Allen was as much a star in the eyes of the Blue Devil faithful as he was a terror to the rest of the college basketball world. He broke onto the scene with a nine-point, five-rebound performance in Duke's Final Four win over Michigan State, providing a crucial spark off the bench for Mike Krzyzewski's Blue Devils. He then poured in 16 points in 21 minutes during the national championship game, helping Duke to its fifth title in the Krzyzewski era. He was a star in Durham for the next three years, averaging 17.2 points per game for the Blue Devils in that span. But perhaps more famous than his on-court prowess were his widely publicized incidents of tripping and subsequent outbursts during his sophomore and junior seasons. He was suspended for a game and stripped of his captaincy as a result, but longer-lasting is his reputation as a dirty player that has followed him into his NBA career.
