This is a joke, right, the negative, Paulus was not good for the Program posts?
As to his level of success, and whether he in fact was a successful player at Duke, it is misleading to quote career points, statistics rather than analyzing these year to year. Focus on the sophomore and junior seasons, that he started as a freshman, that in his 2 and 3rd years,

where he averaged just shy of 12 points per game, mostly 3 pointers, with a hit percentage of well over 40%. Over 5 assists per game as a freshman. Playing time peaked as a sophomore, but even as a junior he played over 3 / 4 ths of the minutes per game.
The judgmental negative posts are the sort of thing that K so strongly dislikes. Judging players negatively when in fact they have come to Duke worked hard under his system and delivered.
Watch the linked interview. Greg Paulus really looks the Football player now.
The innane negative is even more inappropriate considering the sacrifice Greg made in coming to Duke, forgoing Football at least through his freshman and sophomore years. He did this to play for K, yes, but Miami, Notre Dame, Syracuse and just about every other top program were ok with both sports. Had Greg gone out for Football his junior year, based on how well he did at Syracuse with a couple of months of preparation and the improvements he made later in the season, Ted Roof might have kept his job. And, we might be further on our way to recruiting other 5 star QBs to Duke.
Lets hope if Greg ends up in college basketball coaching it will be at Duke. His intelligence, toughness, competitiveness are very much like K's.
