Other good points from this tread - Luka is 22 and players prime years are somewhere around 28 to 32 years of age.  But Luka has been playing pro ball since he's been 13.  What if Luka is in his prime years now?  Also, being a pro since 13 he has had plenty of mentors or learning experiences already, more so than a 22-year-old coming from collage.  

There are hundreds of thousands young kids in Europe that started playing basketball at age 13. During Lukas time. None which even remotely come close to his level of play. If you look historically, many millions young kids that started that age or before. Arguably again none that were at his talent level, a few that definitely come close.

I often hear this as a negative. But this to me is a positive that he is just on much higher trajectory than everyone else. What should he have done otherwise, not excelled because it was too early? You cant blame him for excelling and being better. Ton of things he is improving in his game to this very day, one thing is mid-range game that he developed just last season. Another thing is man to man defense this season where he has really improved a lot. There are many areas he needs to improve, switching on defense, stop blaming refs (will come with age), free throws. I dont see those things as out of reality to add to his game with years.
