I had a GM—or an govt, slightly—from one other group that had a excessive lottery decide give me a Hedo Turkoglu comp proper after Luka was drafted. Like, ‘Yeah, he’s going to be type of like a playmaking ahead. He can’t be a major ball-handler. He’s received measurement, he’s a giant physique, a little bit thick, not that explosive, not gonna get by guys.’ In order that was type of the pondering—and it wasn’t simply him. There was a lot of doubt that Luka could be a primary ball-handler, much less a point guard. But Rick said, ‘Hey, here’s the ball. You’re the point guard. Let’s build everything around opening the floor up for him, giving him space.’ -via YouTube / March 28, 2025
