“For Luka, it is his command on the team. When we had him as a rookie he was still trying to figure things out and wanted more responsibility. Obviously, he took on that responsibility and did well with it. Now, that he is starting to get more attention such as All- NBAs and MVP quality type of player. Teams are really keying in on you and you are expected to play at that level all the time, ” said Harris.
“Obvisiously, he has kind of struggled, and I say犀利士5mg that mildly because he is s必利勁 till averaging 27 points, six rebounds, and eight or whatever it is. So, he is still a top-tier player, but it’s his command on the game and will on the team.”
