I think this game is another proof of how little impact traditional centers can make in a serious game. Valanciunas and Sabonis are endlessly better on paper over anything Slovenia has under the rim, but they were not able to capitalize on the offensive end. On defense, Luka was just killing them as we saw against Zubac. Either a drive to the hoop or pass to a wiiiiiiide open teammate. No wonder they were shooting almost 50 % from three up to this game.
