Freshman phenom Paolo Banchero addressed the DWI-related charge against him following Duke's 107-81 victory Monday over The Citadel.

Last week, Banchero was cited for aiding and abetting impaired driving, while teammate Michael Savarino was arrested for DWI.

"We all learned from it," Banchero told reporters postgame, according to ESPN. "I can't really say much about it. We learned from it and we handled it as a team. We've moved on, though. We want to get on with our season.''

Banchero, a potential No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft, wasn't disciplined by the school for his involvement. Meanwhile, Savarino was suspended from team activities.

Both players are scheduled for separate court visits in early December.
