It’s early in this game, but so far the team has looked really good during the time that Luka has missed. He’s obviously their best player, so don’t read anything into that observation, but maybe the rest of the team needed that opportunity to get comfortable and find some rhythm. And, if Luka somehow gets himself into midseason shape as a result of missing this time, it could be a huge win all around.

I think this could actually be a great thing to show Luka that he really can trust everyone. He’s had to deal with Bullock, Josh Richardson, and Trey Burkes for his entire career.

I can see why he always has the do-everything mindset. And it’s amazing he’s good enough to do it and carry a team like that.
