If you just focus on J. J. and just watched him, you'd be shocked at the maze of things that he has to get through usually to get a shot. I think he's just evolved each year as a better basketball player, and the last two years he's made a year-round commitment to being in exceptional shape.
More Quotes from Mike Krzyzewski:
In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.Mike Krzyzewski
J.J.'s been incredibly efficient. He had 30 points on 15 shots. A couple of weeks ago, he had 40 points on 13 shots. He has been incredibly efficient especially for that high level of scoring. A lot of people when they score much, they're volume shooters. J.J.'s not that.

This injury is a bone bruise. It really has nothing to do with the other injury except that it's in the same foot -- that's the commonality there. You want him to come in as close as possible to 100 percent, and that's what we're trying to do.
