Luka's freshman year, I questioned whether Garza should even be on scholarship at a Power 5 program.
Luka's sophomore year, I thought he might develop into a reliable backup and maybe even become a solid starter by his senior year.
Last year, whoa. I was dead wrong about Luka as a college player, but I still thought he'd be a second round pick and bounce between G and the NBA before going overseas after a year or two.
Now? If Luka keeps performing even better than last year, I would not be surprised to see him go late 1st round and eventually turn heads in the NBA for how.much more suited to the NBA game he may be.
The thing that is changing my.mind about Luka's ceiling is that cyst being removed and how rapidly his speed, strength, and footwork have improved. He's always had confidence and work ethic and studies the game like a pro, but now I wonder if he can't keep developing physically and athletically with the cyst gone. A cyst that size probably limited his strength and athleticism development substantially, but his youth and having a team of trainers (plus his dad) is fast-tracking him to get physically better and better at a time when a lot of guys are nearing their peaks. I may be proven wrong, but Luka keeps proving me wrong. Time for me to give him the benefit of the doubt.
