If the rest of the year goes as it has so far for LG, when do we start sweating about him coming back next year?
 
Tonight, Garza scored a career high
44 points in the game at Michigan.
He looked like he wanted the ball and
knew what to do with it. Luka had
some nifty under the bucket moves
which were unstoppable.
 
He graduates this year which scares me. Any team in America would want this kid. Thrilled he’s a Hawk.
 
Needs to rebound and play better defense than he did tonight. But that was the best offensive performance that I can remember seeing from an Iowa center.

This is what I was really hoping for Garza this season. Saw flashes last year, and I do think the absence of Cook frees him up - game flows to him better - not to sound negative at all against Cook.

I’d be very surprised if Garza left early. He’s a 2nd rounder at best. Enjoy college.

Agreed. It’s kind of like Happ. Garza is a fantastic offensive player in college and I can only hope he continues to perform like he has for the next year and a half but I don’t think it will translate to the NBA and I doubt he is ever projected to be a first round pick.
 
Probably the kids who are going to college to play basketball and try to out earn us all in 3 years. Oh, and they get to play a sport for a living.

I don't like the NBA either but that's a pretty ignorant comment.

It's not always about making money and playing games but that's another story.
