Good luck to him. I hope that he stays healthy and has a great career.

Maybe it was the coaching or his teammates not getting him the ball set to shoot or even getting him the ball-- Maybe he didn't dig the ohio river water

In my opinion we're going to conclude that it was the coaching.

totally ruined by his last year and WM playing favorites. Before that he was the one who had the ball in the final minutes and came through. His shot was down his senior year because the pg couldn't get him the ball to shoot in rhythm. Many blamed SL . I blamed the new Charlotte connection.

No. Defenses adjusted to his game, and made his favorite spots more difficult to reach. If he could have attacked the rim more he would have ruined those overplays by the defense. But that wasn’t his game.

Happy to see he's having sucess, but am I missing something on his production?

"Across 32 games in the Lithuanian Basketball League, Lukosius averaged 6.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting 33% from beyond the arc. In the FIBA Basketball Champions League, he posted 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1 assist over 16 games."

I was expecting double digit averages

well perhaps but I saw a lot of wretched passes from JJ. He had to adjust to the ball and was off balance. SL wasn't the only one that happened to. BUT this is a new year.
