I think the comparisons of this kid to Luka are dangerous, and I know many agree because everyone is carefully tiptoeing around them. However, I will say that he is similar and has a similar play style. I DON'T think that means he'll be anywhere near as good, but I DO think this is a player who will get more of a chance to succeed in the NBA and be more confident to try succeeding in the NBA as a result of Luka paving the way. There's a blueprint for how it could work that simply didn't exist before Dallas put Luka front and center of their offense...unless you count that one year of Hedo Turkoglu in Orlando.
