Amile is "The Stabilizer"

[Laettner]

One thing I noticed while rewatching tourney games is each time we fell behind or became rattled, K put Amile in the game & he responded right away.

1. Utah - Big three were nervous early on, Amile comes in to grab 5 boards & adds lay up in 1st half.
2. Zags - Down 38-34 in 2nd half, team is sputtering. Amile grabs 3 boards, steal, & lay up.
3. Wiscy - Down 48-39 Amile locks down Kaminsky for 8 mins, gets key offensive board plus multiple def boards.

Talk about a kid who played his role to perfection!

I love everything he brings to this program.

I agree with everything you stated above. I just wanted to add that when I saw him in person while leaving Cameron Indoor after the welcome home ceremony, he looked like he has gotten a bit taller and bigger since his freshman year. He had some muscle on him that I don't recall seeing in the past. Duke staff must be putting these guys in the weight room and locking the doors lol.

On an unrelated note, I went to high five Jah as he was leaving and all my hand felt was palm... no fingers... Kid has HUGE hands lol.
