Elton Brand, Shelden Williams head Duke hall of fame class | News & Observer

Former men’s basketball stars Elton Brand and Shelden Williams headline this year’s Duke Athletics Hall of Fame class.

The school announced the eight-person class on Thursday, which also includes retired play-by-play announcer Bob Harris and women’s basketball player Lindsay Harding, along with Katie Chrest Erbe (lacrosse), Candy Hannemann (golf), Ryan Jackson (baseball) and Randy Jones (football and track).

Brand played two seasons at Duke before the Chicago Bulls made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 1999 NBA draft. He was named national player of the year and the ACC player of the year following his sophomore season, when he led the Blue Devils to the Final Four.
