He’s obtained measurement, he’s a giant physique, a bit of thick, not that explosive, not gonna get by guys.’ In order that was sort of the considering—and it wasn’t simply him. There was lots of doubt that Luka might be a main ball-handler, a lot much less a degree guard. However Rick mentioned, ‘Hey, right here’s the ball. You’re the purpose guard. Let’s construct every little thing round opening the ground up for him, giving him house.’ -via YouTube / March 28, 2025
