Multiple rebounds / balls on the floor that he had and then didn't. Stepped on the baseline once, iirc. Seems to be a theme with Kornet. He does a lot of good, but then he's really close to doing a lot more good but doesn't quite get it done.
and yet -- he's consistently pretty good!
He's not likely to become 'great', but he's a bargain for the vet min and seems to have a great attitude about being ready to give the team whatever he can whenever he's called on -- he's not alone in that, but it's certainly gotta be helpful for team culture/chemistry
I don't mean that you are, but I think a lot of fans rag on him because he's a classic goofy big white stiff
And I understand that, but I hope we can also appreciate what we've got in Luke while we've got him
Nah, I’m a fan and have been. He’s quite solid. It’s just lately it seems like he is a few missed rebounds, dunks or whatever’s away from being outstanding. 3-4 plays each game that he allllmmmoooooosssstttt makes. It’s tantalizing, not demoralizing.
He's certainly not an explosive athlete. I think his hands and coordination are generally good, but there's a reason he was driving himself to Gleague games or whatever a few years ago. And you can be 'hot' or 'cold' in all areas of the game, not just shooting -- including grabbing boards, staying inbounds, defensive positioning -- Luke wasn't the only Celtic with a 'cold' stretch recently!
