Here’s what the numbers say:
Carmelo Anthony (10-time All-Star)
Dave Bing (7-time All-Star)
Derrick Coleman (1-time All-Star)

Here are the results for Duke:
Kyrie Irving (6-time All-Star)
Carlos Boozer (2-time All-Star)
Elton Brand (2-time All-Star)
Luol Deng (2-time All-Star)
Dick Groat (8-time All-Star), he was a two-sport athlete who played at Duke and in MLB, so it still counts!
Grant Hill (7-time All-Star)
Christian Laettner (1-time All-Star)
Jack Marin (2-time All-Star)
Jeff Mullins (3-time All-Star)
All in all, I found 32 All-Star appearances among Duke players in history.
