Croatia has a game vs Slovenia today per their IG page.
Wow. Where you even watching the games? Saminic has the best combo of size and rebounding technique on the team. He tracks the shot extremely well and blocks out. Defensively during the COVID stretch opponents shot only 38% against him—best in the league over that stretch. If he develops any consistency on his 3 he’s going to be a monster 2 way player. I believe he will be a candidate for the MIP this year.

Played like vs Slovenia banter team. Looked pathetic vs our bigs who are a joke.
His tattoo did look nice.
Samanic is a lightweight with t-rex arms. His career defensive rebound % is 18.6 and total rebound % is 11.7, both of which are paltry figures for a big (and spare me the small sample size or he's not a finished product retort; rebounding doesn't work like that).
Wrong. The 3 isn't icing on the cake like you're intimating, it's essential and he has no chance to be a MIP candidate.
The hyperbole surrounding the youth on this board is insane.
He goes to a dude out of California for his work. I can't remember the dudes name off the top of my head though. Jessy or some . He mainly does black & grey work and pretty damn decently too especially for how long he's been tattooing which isn't long at all.
Only thing I'm mad about in a friendly is the 1-4 at the FT line...

7 boards in 15 minutes is nice.
his tat ain’t even peel yet, ouch
you should see Slovenian centers. They cant jump, so its not that special. We also played a lot of the time from 3rd to 4th quarter with some weird lineup that had a center and 4 guards. My problem whit Luka was, that his shot still looks bad and under the rim he kinda looks scared. He is quick for his size, but idk if this will help him that much. On friday it's a second game and Samanic will face an even bigger problem as Doncic and a real center will be playing.
That guy “defending the rim” looking sideways and away from the play tells a lot about that level of game.
Darn. Knew there was something off on the way he finishes around the rim. He has small hands. Takes him a while to grip the ball. His potential will be greater as an outside player more than a slasher and post up guy looks like.
yes, but rebounding is more than just jumping; it's also about being in the right position, especially for offensive boards. and the one thing that luka did consistently show this season is that he does have a knack for getting to the ball. better compe ion is always good though so friday will be interesting as will the rest of luka's time during international play.
Either that or Luka nimbly did a wicked euro-step to go around him
Either way, that’s some Forbes level tbh.

Great! Thanks.
Apparently Luka had a nice contest to prevent a layup and then got benched moments later. Only played like 1:47; looks like he has checked back in now.

yeah, looks like he logged less than five minutes in that first half.
I'm not getting a video feed. Luka zero pts in 5 mins of play?
It is halftime right now, can also try this link: https://www.distro.tv/live/eleven-sports
In regards to 0 points in 5 minutes, first time really seeing the Croatia team play, not sure what his role is with the team; he isn't a starter.
and the other luka has 4 points in about 12 minutes of play.
