Amile Jefferson Making Presence Known In Minnesota

Amile Jefferson spent five years under the direction of Mike Krzyzewski at Duke and it is now paying off at the professional level where he is trying to make the team in Minnesota where he will be reunited and hopefully get to play with former Duke guard, teammate and the 2015 Most Outstanding Player of the final four Tyus Jones.

If Duke fans wanted to talk about what’s admirable about former Blue Devil Amile Jefferson, how would they do it? They’d say stuff like this: "according to https://www.dukebasketballreport.com/2017/9/26/16365142/amile-jefferson-making-an-impression-in-minnesota-duke-basketball

“[His]energy, his attitude, his approach, eagerness to learn, makes the group better just (with) the way he practices, good habits.”"according to https://www.dukebasketballreport.com/2017/9/26/16365142/amile-jefferson-making-an-impression-in-minnesota-duke-basketball

Only, in this case, the comments mean more because they come from Minnesota Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau who sounds very impressed. "according to https://www.dukebasketballreport.com/2017/9/26/16365142/amile-jefferson-making-an-impression-in-minnesota-duke-basketball

Then again, he likes Duke guys: “The biggest thing about Duke is I think you understand how to be part of a team. I think all the winning over the years, it’s a winning culture. So you learn from that.” "according to https://www.dukebasketballreport.com/2017/9/26/16365142/amile-jefferson-making-an-impression-in-minnesota-duke-basketball

Clearly, he hasn’t made the team yet but there are better talents who don’t win a fraction of that sort of respect. "according to https://www.dukebasketballreport.com/2017/9/26/16365142/amile-jefferson-making-an-impression-in-minnesota-duke-basketball
