The alst tow games have been very good and this is a play off team once we figure out a few more things.
Actually, the notion that Luka isn't athletic is a myth.
He isn't toned/ripped that's all.
Plus he plays too much video games in all likelihood, which is an injury risk, and disturbs sleeping patterns.
Disagree, but needing athleticism is the myth. If Luka was athletic most of those layups he makes would be dunks. He is crafty and knows when he gets the defender on his heels is when he can blow by him, which traditionally is called a quick first step.
Yeah then we disagree. He can easily dunk, it's just not his preferred way of playing. He has elit deceleration and lateral quickness. He is also plenty fast for his size.
Players relying on skill are not necessarily less athletic.
He has a good frame and can easily add muscle. If he further improved his diet and reduces video gaming he will improve even more.
He isn't even in his physical prime yet and in Europe athletic training comes after skill training so expect his realized athleticism to increase.
I'm sorry to say it but that Luka isn't athletic is an American bias.
