Freshman Year: 1st team all-ACC freshman; 2nd team all-American freshman. Duke went 32-4 and he set the Duke freshman record for assists in a game (15) and third all time freshmen in a season behind Hurley and Jay Williams.
Sophomore Year: Largely injured that year, but averaged 11.8 ppg. Duke went 28-6.
Junior Year: 3rd team all-ACC. Scored 11.4 ppg. Led the ACC in A/TO ratio. 42% from 3P. Duke went 28-6.
Senior Year: Benched for Nolan Smith. Duke went 30-7.

I don't quite get the hate for Paulus, especially from Syracuse fans considering he's a hometown kid who was the QB for one of the very few good football years we've had here in the past 25 years. Aside from a disappointing senior season, he was a part of a Duke program that went 112-28 (.800 winning percentage) over four years. I think we'd sign up for that success any day of the week. Sure the famous "flop" and "poster" plays are cringeworthy, but I'd take him over any point guard we've had since Tyler Ennis (Gbinije was a combo).

Edit: Not to mention, he was nowhere near considered a "dirty player" or "trash talker".
