Grayson On His Duke Experience

Here’s an interesting article by CBSSports.com’s Matt Norlander about Grayson Allen and his struggles in college which were mostly emotional.

He had a hard time dealing with attention as it turns out and obviously the kicking incidents speak to a higher level of pressure than most people would be comfortable with.

He also spoke about how Coach K helped him through it: “The best conversations I had were with Coach K. He is a guy who, his whole career he’s been at this Duke program, and Duke is the center of ‘You either love Duke or you hate Duke.’ Being the head coach of that, a lot of the attention is directed at him. Just with his mentality, how he goes into it, I had countless conversations with him and he helped me with a lot of it through my career there.”
