I hope Garza is working his butt off this off season and earns a 2 way contract conversion before the end of the season so he can be available for the playoffs.

Re: We got Luka (Garza)!
Thanks for posting these clips Klomp, some good finds lately.
Some posters more positive, others negative, but posting good team related content always a big A+ in my book.

It's the boring part of the offseason, which is made worse approaching a full month in a hospital swing bed. These clips are a big part of what's keeping me sane after surgery.

I hope the transformation will turn him into a steady contributor and regular in the Wolves line up but he still look a little awkward in those drills.

Sorry to hear that I hope you get better soon!

Hope you feel better soon. Not I feel bad because I am just sitting in my lazy chair and posting too much. Although I do have a good excuse today - watching thunder storm.

Two things stood out in that video. One where he was doing the "Crane" technique (0:48). If he do right no can defend. The other he was running the steps up to the Rocky Statue (1:32). We all know how it worked out for Daniel and Rocky.
I finally got the Miyagi quote right.

Lost a split decision the first time, but gained respect. He then beat him next time around.

If Garza could just get strong enough to be a solid rebounder, he could be an NBA player. While it would be great if every NBA post player was Ben Wallace, the fact is most players in the NBA are weak defenders or better yet most NBA players are insanely good scorers. My problem with Luka last year was he struggled to get tough defensive boards. If he can improve that facet of his game, I could see him being a solid player on a solid team.

He is strong enough to fight for rebounds, he also has good hands because he is able to catch difficult passes. But. He is a complete non leaper with slow feets. Maybe he can watch some Kevin Love tapes when Kevin was still a bit overweight

I am sure that is how Luka feels when countryman GM Divac pass him up for Marvin Bagley III.

Don't disagree, but my hope is that he can get some more improved lower body strength and box out better. Might be a long shot, but I'm hoping he can improve his rebounding.

Agree. I also wonder if improved mobility and quickness will help him to be in better position to rebound.
