Luka and Croatia will get some help.

Bojan Bogdanovic will join Croatia in the Olympic Qualifiers eurohoops.net/en/national-te…
This is something that should absolutely be considered.
Nobody is taking what weve seen from luka soo far seriously .
Yep these are glorified preseason games, we don't really know what the rotations will be like till the qualifying tournament begins.
I didn't even remember he'd broken his hand. What the is he doing playing basketball of all things, less than 2 months later??
I broke my own hand in ing January and still can't/shouldn't go play pickup ball, nevermind an NBA/NT game with actual stakes and stuff. Repe ive motions and weight pressure are both advised against during the healing process. Of course, Luka has access to medical facilities, staff, and rehab programs that I couldn't dream of, but it's still insane to me. I'm definitely taking these performances with a grain of salt, hope he's 100% for training camp come next season.
Croatia had a game against Puerto Rico today and have another friendly tomorrow. Doesn't look like Luka played at all.

Hopefully everything is okay with him and it isn’t anything serious that kept him out of the game with Puerto Rico
from what i can tell, it looks as if there was a different rotation this go around.
based on this he might have taken the day off to get some more ink work done
What I see is a guy with a decent looking three that goes game by game and is a bit streaky. Not someone to run an offense through but with potential to build on and very young. At this point his size and athletic ability mean run him as a role player on offense until you develop the guy into a more finished product and see what you are going to end up with. If his size comes together bwith his shot you have a decent stretch big. If size and athletics come together you have a decent power forward. If all three happen you have lightening in a bottle and your mid first rounder becomes a multi- year all star. If he's just a talk fairly athletic guy he's gonna bounce around the league at the end of benches till he's thirty. You get to feel special because three late first rounders from that draft you will have missed on for him. But overall it's ok because your mid first rounder didn't work out and your late first round guy did.
Doesn't look like he played in the 2nd friendly vs Puerto Rico either...

going into year 3 and still no certainty that he's even a rotation player... ugh. he showed a lot of promise during one stretch around midseason or tho, particularly the knicks game.
i'm not going to assume anything about the friendlies without knowing anything in depth about the Croatian National Team but i do hope we get to see Samanic play some meaningful minutes during his stint with the team.
also, not sure if the addition of bogdanovic, who was not available for the slovanian games, has impacted luka's minutes.
Lets just hope the completion of his arm sleeve is symbolic of his growth as a player...
I see no muscle, is he even lifting weights. I don't see it with him, hope i'm wrong
It is a pretty sweet looking tat
Looks like he will be cut from the national team. And even if hes not he wont be playing a lot in the tournament. Thats pretty sad, as Croatia has just like 4 good players on the roster (Bogdanovic, Hezonja, Zizic, Bilan)
Is that based on facts or are you just pulling out of your ass?
How is he going to lift weights while he was recovering from a broken hand?
That would be a shock. How many current NBA players can't make their country's rosters outside of the U.S.? I'd venture the number to be zero.
