00:00 >> So what made me come like my first decision to go to Duke was
00:05 when I came my junior year to the Duke UNC game.
00:09 I just saw the atmosphere just how coach K just he carries himself,
00:13 how he carries so much for his staff, his teammates.
00:20 He just cares for everybody in his organization.
00:23 So that was a big part of me coming to Duke.
00:28 I definitely like you can just you can act like how you really wanna act around
00:32 the coaches.
00:33 So it's just like it's just they brought me in as a brother,
00:37 the coaching staff really just looked out for me.
00:39 So it's everything I've asked for.
00:41 I picked him just a DMV guy, played in the same conference as me.
00:47 We, I mean, we just been close throughout the years.
00:51 Like I see, I've seen him in the gyms.
00:53 I've always looked up to him.
00:55 And that's what he's definitely one of the reasons why I came to Duke.
00:58 I haven't got a chance to talk to him after the big finals when I'll definitely
01:02 get in touch with him sooner.
01:03 I mean, we're learning to play together.
01:07 Like coach says, there's not gonna be one line of it.
01:10 It can be different guys in different spots.
01:12 So just learning to play together, learning to play off the ball and
01:15 play on the ball.
01:16 I think we got a lot of guys who can be that go to guy.
01:21 Like for one, we got Matt Hurt, we got Wendell Moore, we got Jalen Johnson,
01:26 we can double down to Mark Winn.
01:28 So we just got a lot of guys that I feel like that could fit that moment and
01:33 just make the big play and make the right play.
