Coach K. congratulates Paolo Banchero

After going 1st pick in the NBA draft, Coach K. went on television to give praise to his prodigy whom he had refined into the best prospect in the 2022 NBA draft, while he was at DUKE University. Applauding his commitment for the game, being versatile, and being able to play at a high level anywhere on the court.

Paolo returned that same praise back to him, by saying, he had a big influence on him while he was alone, and far away from home. That he had taught him how to be a man, and to take criticism gracefully.

per Paolo's quote "he was the greatest coach he had ever had".
