Hey y’all buying a lot of stock before seeing this dude play against nba talent every night. I ain’t, I gotta see it. If he’s legit I’ll take everything back, but right now I don’t believe it.

Sam Hinke would have them tank next season because there's no shot they beat golden state. Idk how that would go over with the sixers fans

What we’ve seen of him so far leads you to believe his trajectory is a non shooter? College ball may feature more athletic day to day comp but Id consider the defense Luka faced overall was better
His three point percentage wasn’t phenomenal by any means however if he played college ball it’s not unfair to say that number would jump. College line is 1 foot shorter than what Luka played with
Lukas conditioning was probably an issue as he shot well the first half of the season (37%) and fell off after
This article sums up how he fared

I can understand if someone said they’re not a believer overall in Luka but calling him a non shooter is trying too hard to be harsh on euro prospects. Even if he doesn’t shoot well next season his trajectory should lead to league average sooner than later

It better be. Ewing never even got a chance to get a head coaching job and nobody gonna convince it’s got nothing to do with his shade

Thank you very much, for reminding me of the reason why I left Duke. People like you can not and will not ever understand my situation. I’m sure daddy worked very hard to send your rich self to college. While real people struggle. I would also like to extend an invitation for you not to waste your or my time ever agin. Never being considered a part of your posh group of yuppies really hurts me to the heart. Yeah, right. Because I don’t care about you or your alumni.

And people like dumb**** Jennifer Taylor are allowed to vote. Smh. The amount of blind pride some people have for their school is bordering psychotic too. You really think Duke would give two ****s about their alumni if they werent paying fortunes or representing them athleticallyNever forget

Just being serious. I have a hard time looking at most Euro dudes and believing they are CAN'T MISS.
I am not saying he won't be good, and if he turns up to be good I will pat him on his back.

Can say a lot about Luka, but non-shooter is crazy. 
When someone says non-shooter, I think of guys who actually can't or don't shoot. Andre Roberson is a non-shooter. MKG is a non-shooter Ben Simmons is a non-shooter.

I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this. As a fan, I'll absolutely give Brand a chance. I just really wish he won't end up being a yes man.

I don't get the impression that the 6ers have made a habit of hiring yes men even going back as far as Billy King.
They seem to give GM's a good amount of autonomy.
Elton was VP of basketball ops. That's not exactly a no-show job.
