You have to give Luka Garza respect
Still keep saying to myself about Garza, "How does he do this?" And he keeps doing it.

I’ve seen a lot of basketball players this year, but I’m not sure I’ve seen one as good as Iowa’s big man Luka Garza. He’s a handful down low with his strength and footwork around the rim. More than that, he seems to treat every possession like it is the last one of the game. He goes hard with reckless intent.
But that’s not all to his game. He’ll step outside and hit the three-pointer just when you think you’ve got the inside game under wraps. He has improved significantly from last year, and he was an absolute beast in this one with 23 points in all sorts of ways with guys hanging all over him.
