On Dukek’s in game adjustments on defense!

Opening Statement: “I am really proud of the effort that we had tonight, I thought it was a great response. Delaware really tested us. We knew they had two really good players in [Jameer] Nelson, and in [Jyare] Davis, and the job we did on them, I thought it was terrific overall. They really tested us: six-point game and half. I just loved our defense, our energy, and our effort that we came out with in the second half. Tyrese [Proctor], I thought really got off to a faster start. For him to get 10 rebounds is a big deal. We took better care of the ball tonight, almost two to one in assist to turnovers. Rebounded well, and I was really proud of some of the guys off the bench. Jacob Grandison, what he did coming in the game. He didn't play as much on Tuesday. We talked to our team that may happen at times where, we have some really good players. He [Grandison] didn't put his head down. He's worked really hard for two days. I thought he was just absolutely terrific tonight. I’m really proud of the response and effort from our team.” On Jeremy Roach’s performance: “I just think for Jeremy, it's about the little plays. I thought tonight he really was just making the winning plays. I thought he was overthinking it first, instead of just playing instinctually, taking whatever's there, and leading our team. But, he had great communication with me. I thought he did a really good job of running our team and making others better, but then also looking for his own, which is a tough balance. It's not an easy thing to do. But that play, the charge, which ended up [a foul] as he was in the cylinder, putting his body in the line, and then that offensive rebound. Those little plays that add up to winning. He has to set the tone for us every night with that, and I liked what he did there, especially in the second half coming out from halftime. On Tyrese Proctor’s adjustment to college basketball: “I think for him, it's just adjusting to the windows that are open in college basketball. It's just a different game. I think that's why you've seen him get off to maybe a slower start in the first halves. So tonight, you could just tell pregame he was moving in adifferent way. He's sped up his game; he's worked on that. I thought he was a really determined driver, getting in the pain tonight. And then 10 rebounds. He took a huge charge on [Jameer] Nelson for his third foul. Then, his scoring early and did a good job of sharing and passing early, really set the tone for our team.”

Dariq [Whitehead] did well. He hasn't even had a week of practice under his belt. I spoke to him when we got back from Kansas, and he felt like he was ready to go and try it in the game. We knew there will be some rust, but I think you can see his athleticism, his body, and he's really a smart player. He's very smart. He knows how to move without the ball and play offense. Then the biggest thing for him, is just, I thought he got a little tired and started settling a little bit. He's a really tough matchup when he's attacking the rim, passing, and playmaking from there. I really liked his effort. We were hoping to get him 15 minutes tonight. And we did get him 15 minutes and so happy with that result.”“I think the biggest thing is just the fact that we were solid in the second half. We were pretty spread out there in that first half. Probably a good amount of that's on me, I wanted us to pick up and I think that led to gambling and looking for steals. That's not our defense, we need to be solid, disciplined, and with our size, protecting the paint. Give them credit, they hitsome tough threes in that first half. I thought we did a much better job of being disciplined, controlling the ball, and having an awareness for protecting our rim.

Following Duke’s 69-64 loss to Kansas in State Farm Champions Classic in Jon Scheyer’s inaugural season as Head Coach Tuesday following Duke rebounding with 92-win over Delaware Friday Freshman, Kyle Filipowski, Tyrese Proctor had this to say!

On getting his first career double-double: “Yeah, it felt great. Just trying to do the little things. We were only up six, I think, at the half so [we] had to come in [the] second half and just really make an emphasis on my defense. I think we did that as a group and that led to my double-double.” On what Duke saw offensively in the second half that allowed them to increase their lead: “I think we shared the ball a lot better than we did in the first half. I think we shared it early in the first and then it [the ball] started to stick a little bit late in the first. We just came out, everyone had confidence and believed in each other and just kept moving the ball.” On grabbing 10 rebounds: “It was great. My big men were boxing out, I’m just getting their scraps. They’ve been great all year and it’s going to be a huge thing for us moving forwardOn being more aggressive tonight and looking for his shot: “I was just doing what I do. I wasn’t thinking selfishly or anything, it was just kind of a mismatch situation. So, I think that’s why I was a little bit more aggressive.” On his hot start to the season: “I think just coming out right from the beginning and bringing the energy. That gets myself and everyone else going, especially on defense as well. So, I think just playing that defense, that even gets me going – when I get a stop, get a rebound, that gets me excited to now keep the momentum going and let the offense take care of itself.” On getting Dariq Whitehead back: “It was awesome. I’ve known Dariq and been playing with him since fourth grade. So, just being able to play with him again, seeing him do what he does best. It might not have been the best performance but he’s getting there and it’s great to see him back out on the court.”
