Yesterday it was announced that Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith would be the team captains next year. No surprises there....

"We're really excited about naming our co-captains so early this year, and the reason is obvious - Nolan and Kyle are our leaders," Krzyzewski said. "They have big shoes to fill. Losing the three seniors, who all were outstanding leaders, is the biggest gap we have to fill. But we're confident that these two young men can do it."
"Nolan and I have grown so much over the last three years and now it is time for both of us step forward and become vocal leaders of this team," Singler added. "I am honored to be a team captain and take great pride in my ability to help lead the team. We had three great senior leaders a year ago and Nolan and I are determined to follow their example."
"Being named team captain along with Kyle is a huge honor," Smith said. "I am excited about my leadership role with the 2010-11 team. We have high goals set for this team and the only way we can accomplish them is with hard work and great leadership."

Easy choice. I really wonder if Kyle had not returned if Nolan would be a solo captain. When was the last time Duke only had one captain?
