Duke hasn't seen much separation on this year's team. That means that Coach K will play more guys than he normally does, but he says a few players have caught his eye.

00:00 I don't know what old-fashioned means anymore but these kids are really
00:08 together and we're athletic. We're young. We don't have as much separation from
00:15 one to eleven but we're getting more and the more we practice, they're making each
00:20 other better. There's competition because when you go five on five, you're going
00:26 against five other good players and so and they love one another. They work
00:32 hard. They're in the gym all the time and then we are seeing some separation with
00:38 like Matt Hurd has had a great, just he's been terrific. He's 20 pounds heavier,
00:44 confident. He doesn't look like he should be as quick as he is but he is. In
00:50 the last two weeks, Wendell has really taken another huge step forward. Goliar
00:58 has been outstanding and he was outstanding last year and a kid that's
01:04 really come on especially this week is Jeremy Roach and but all of them have.
01:10 You know DJ, you know Joey Baker, they've been good. You know we have a lot of
01:17 pieces and we're gonna play a very up-tempo game and fast-paced. Mark
01:25 Williams is somebody that I don't, we've never really had. Now he's young and
01:32 he's always had some tendinitis knee problems but you know he's 7'1"
01:38 with a 7'5" wingspan and so he can, he's been good too. There are a lot of
01:45 good pieces and so we'll be playing more people than we've normally played but
01:50 that doesn't mean it'll be equal playing. Yeah when you get separation, the guys
01:54 who separate some need to play more and they will.
