    Hope he stays healthy through the summer and plays as much as possible in summer league

    Key summer for him, needs to remain healthy and show some improvement on his game. I don't mind if he starts shooting or not, it's still early for that. He needs to develop on what he's already good and just be a guy that the coach can trust, notably on the defensive end. Footwork, lateral speed, reads, play through screens, etc

    Would even say he stands more to win on the short term if he becomes an above average rebounder than the shooting part, for next year. He has the hops, so should become a nice rebounder in his career

    Generous move from Luka.

    For comparison sake:
    Luka earns 670k per game
    Thiero earns 15.5k a game

    Really raw. I love his tools and I'm just mad that he wasn't given short stints to work on clear issues.

    Too foul happy: he's got to trust his positioning and not give up cheap fouls. In addition he's not going to be able to dunk everything work on a floater or pump fake and he goes to get it the line a ton
