Mike Krzyzewski knows how to pick winners.

The Duke head coach has been at the helm of the Blue Devils since 1980, racking up 12 regional championships and five NCAA titles, including one this year.

Krzyzewski watched three of his former players go in the first round of the NBA draft Thursday - Jahlil Okafor to the Philadelphia 76ers at No. 3, Justise Winslow to the Miami Heat at No. 10, and Tyus Jones, who was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers at No. 24, then traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Best part about coach K's legacy? Those players were only three of 31 who have been selected in the first round.
