Welcome to Boston, Luka Garza!

[31to6]

When they say parks athleticism, in the nba they means.

1. You are white
2. Aren't super fast
3. Lack jumping ability

Garza is fine. He is a skill player with average athleticism. He is a good athlete.

He doesn't have fast twitch explosiveness.

I mean sure, Luka would be an amazing athlete in my Rec league, but the context we're talking about is playing significant NBA minutes. He hasn't yet, and this year will, and it's fair to wonder if his defensive limitations will be a problem for the Celtics.

Luka will never be confused with smooth or quick... but at least he makes the effort... interesting twitter post from his dad...

I like his will to fight and hustle. Good rebounder and pick setter
He is giving everything out there
Lacks speed, but I guess the coaches will find a scheme where he isn't a liability on defense

yo that's a fun watch -- thanks for posting! Enjoyed seeing him swinging an axe, carrying a rock uphill, and trying to slide defensively in the ocean waves! Honest question: is his dad Frank an established basketball coach?

I said it in the Cavs game thread, a guy who should be a 14-16 MPG guy scoring 7-8 PPG. I have some critiques still about how the staff is using certain guys on offense, this is not one of them the last 2 games.
