Smith discusses being prepared for the NBA:
I’m definitely more prepared you know. I want to go to that next level and be able to step right out on the court and play right away you know. I don’t think there will be much of a learning curve that I will have to learn when I get there [NBA].

Smith talks about the level of competition Duke faces:
If you look on paper, you can kind of think there’s a huge gap between us and the next team, but, as players, when we take the court, there’s no such thing as a gap in the ACC. … We have to always be ready to play. In the ACC, road games are tough, fans are always ready, teams are ready. I think there’s still a lot of good teams in this conference.

Krzyzewski comments on Irving’s injury:
The latest is the same and it’s he’s going to be out an extended period of time. We’re having him see a couple of the best people in the country. We have one of the best people in the country right here at Duke in Jim Nunnely, and he’ll see a couple other people over the course of the next several weeks. We have a course of action in seeing people and while he’s seeing those people, he’s in a position where recovery is taking place. However, it’s a very sensitive injury and there’s a few different methods you would go about in treating it, and we want to make sure that the method we’re using ensures his career.
