Hopefully this hasn't been posted already in a place I missed, interesting comments:
CBSSports.com: There were moments last year when Ryan Kelly was out where Amile Jefferson looked like a guy who could really provide intangibles on a regular basis. How paramount is it for he or somebody else to try and take that role in the frontcourt?
Krzyzewski: I think there's a number of people that have to take roles. It's not just one and that big guy position, a number of people can be there. Amile can be there. I'd like to see Marshall Plumlee be there. For a limited time and you know he's been a really good player for us, Josh Hairston needs to contribute as well. It's more of a committee than one person and then at times we'll go small where Jabari is the biggest guy on the court. We're still trying to figure out who we are. I would rather take the time to figure that out than to pigeonhole my team early and not give them a growth period where they can grow.
