00:00 I love this team.
00:04 I saw a tweet earlier, somebody said you're gonna like this team.
00:07 And I saw Joey Bigger retweet and said, nope, you're gonna love this team.
00:12 We have a different variety of guys from freshmen all the way up to our
00:16 upperclassmen that are just hungry and ready to work and ready to win.
00:20 It's truly, words can't describe it.
00:25 To walk in every day and you see Coach K, one of the best coaches ever,
00:29 you kind of, it's a surreal feeling.
00:32 You go through the hallway and you see greatness.
00:34 You see guys like Grant Hill, JJ Redick, Christian Layton are on the wall and
00:39 you're finally part of that program and this brotherhood.
00:42 It's really a surreal feeling.
00:45 I mean, it's kind of crazy seeing all the guys and what they can do.
00:49 From the guard perspective and from the wings and to the bigs.
00:53 Everybody's working hard, but a couple of people that are remarkable.
00:57 Every time I watch DJ shoot the ball, it's funny,
01:00 we do some shooting competitions together at the end of practice.
01:04 And it's just like, I kind of get five real quick and
01:08 then DJ gets ten threes out of nowhere.
01:10 So it's just unbelievable.
01:13 And then seeing Jalen and Jamin and Mark, a couple of other freshman guys,
01:17 they're just so real athletes.
01:19 Mark at seven feet, being able to do some of the stuff that he does is kind of crazy.
01:23 And then Jalen and Jamin being freakish athletes, being able to handle the ball
01:28 and do other things is pretty cool.
01:30 And then for the upperclassmen guys, Jay Gould, Joey, Wendell, Matt,
01:35 those guys continue to get better each and every day.
01:39 I continue to learn from them,
01:40 seeing some of the stuff that they do on and off the court.
01:43 Man, it's hard.
01:45 That's definitely hard.
01:45 That's a hard one right there.
01:47 I gotta see this one though.
01:50 I might gotta bring that up to the guys soon.
01:53 >> Not yet, Coach, not yet.
01:55 We continue to get better.
01:56 That's what he teaches me every day and talks to me about.
01:59 Continue to get better with your skills and what I have to do for
02:03 this team for them to win.
