2002: Jay Williams I'd say qualifies, although Duke had a lot of other talent then too. He went 2nd (Yao).
Durant was obviously already mentioned a few times and I don't know how you want to classify guys like JJ Reddick and Jimmer, who were both amazing scorers. Reddick played on a loaded Duke team though, while Jimmer never advanced past the Sweet Sixteen IIRC. Nor did he see the toughest of competition at BYU.
I'll go with Laettner though as the most dominant of the last 30 years (barely) to not go #1.
