AROUND the NBA:

I mean he is shooting 40% from 3 (on decent volume), has a good assist to turnover ratio, is a plus defender and is 23.  The sample is still small, but this is not really the profile of somebody just chucking in garbage minutes.

I know you enjoy playing contrarian to me, but let's keep the Rollins' point I was making in context. Yes, players can put up solid numbers, but that doesn't mean they are necessarily a foundational piece of a franchise. The context was that numbers, in a vacuum, don't make someone who they truly are. 

To take that a step forward, if Luka only returned ONE 1st, I'm daaaaaamn sure going to make sure it's not moved for a guy who has bounced around the league appearing to be a jag prior to the first half of the season.
