it's crazy to watch again highlights of the FIBA championship and what Luka was doing at age 17 against fully grown men.

I've said it a million times and I'll keep saying it. Any American "expert" who doubted Luka coming into the draft didn't actually watch him play. The total ignorance of international basketball by the ESPN talking heads was made very apparent. And the fact that they didn't understand how superior the level of competition is in Euroleague and Liga ACB to the NCAA is just laughable. At least Max Kellerman had to integrity to admit he hadn't seen much of Luka. All the other clowns just pulled nonsense out of their asses about athleticism.
