Are the Duke Blue Devils legit?

"Gerald Henderson has improved tremendously after a tentative freshman campaign, Kyle Singler looks to be the second coming of Christian Laettner, and much-maligned point guard Greg Paulus has found his shooting touch after a horrible start to the season. The defense has been subpar, but it hasn't hurt them because Duke has so many players capable of a scoring binge." But the good folks at The Big Lead still aren't convinced that Duke has what it takes. As a Carolina fan, I'm obviously biased so I'll abstain from the argument. You all already know what I think.
