Think he is referring to Luka. There were questions about his athleticism.


Thanks, going back a few years, the Gasols were very strong in European play (and Pau was drafted 2nd behind Kwame), Arvidas Sabonis, etc. while guys like Juan Carlos Navarro were great there but bombed over here.


Yeah, I meant Luka. I left out the age range. It's more like - with the current trend of the best players declaring for the draft at 19, Luka is the one guy to have a star impact at the Euroleague level before that age. Obviously others have done it, but were a few years older.

What can I say, I'm old and my mind went back a bit.
