“Luka has the advantage over anyone who’s guarding him because these guys are too athletic for this part of the game. Open court? You got him. Half-court when you need to be disciplined, you never learned it.”
Further, he said, “He plays the puppet master game with you. That’s why fundamentals are important especially at a younger age. You need the fundamentals before your athleticism kicks in. Before the athleticism kicks and before the athleticism takes over… The first thing you need to teach him is his footwork before his jumping ability kicks in, because once a person can jump and dunk, that’s all he wants to do. Now, he doesn’t wanna learn the 1-2-pump, he don’t wanna learn that. He just wants to rocket ship.”
