Duke assistant Nate James was the team tough guy when he was a Blue Devil player. He thinks freshman Henry Coleman can provide that same attitude on this year's team.

00:00 Well, I think he's doing a lot of the same things that we saw while we were recruiting
00:05 him.
00:06 He plays with amazing energy, extremely tough.
00:11 Obviously, he has the physical makeup to bring that type of power and strength and athleticism
00:19 to the game, which he's done each and every practice.
00:24 Whatever team he's been on, he's given them a jolt.
00:27 He's an energizer bunny, so wherever you place him on the floor, I think we toyed around
00:35 with having him play the five, the four, a little bit of the three.
00:41 He's done a really, really good job of just adjusting to whatever we've thrown at him.
00:46 Overall, just a tremendous kid to be around each and every day.
00:50 One of those type of kids that you look forward to coaching them.
00:56 He's where he is, has room to continue to grow like all the guys.
01:01 We're just excited because he just competes, plays hard, and just fun to watch.
01:09 I think we do.
01:10 I think Henry, I got my eye on him.
01:15 I have my nays dog pound bone, so if he does a good job, I'll pass that along to him to
01:22 keep the tradition alive.
01:24 I think we have a few guys.
01:25 I think Jamin Breakfield, he's played at a high level.
01:31 I look forward to seeing him get out there and get a little rough, tough, and bump some
01:37 guys around a little bit.
01:39 Yeah, well, he's already proven to get after guys.
01:42 That's the pit bull right there.
01:44 I'm not more concerned about the younger guys and what they're going to bring.
