Kenny Dennard probably doesn’t get the attention he should get when we talk about great Duke players.
There are a few reasons for that. First, time does move on and he was a senior in 1981. Second, ESPN started up near the end of Dennard’s time in Durham so he wasn’t on TV every other night like Duke is now. And third, Mike Krzyzewski started at Duke in 1980, which was just in time for Dennard’s senior season.
But in a lot of ways, Dennard was a prototype: at 6-8, he was one of the earlier players that size with guard skills.
