Ah, some kid named Luke led ALL scorers while representing Team USA


Not sure if you heard but the Luke "Lights Out" Hancock Magical Mystery Tour is still rolling on. Outscoring all teammates, including one All-American sharpshooter named Doug McDermott, our Luke led Team USA to an exhibition victory over Russia.

Somewhere on my office desk is a piece of paper where I tabulated Luke's long-distance prowess. If memory serves me, he shot close to 45% during conference play and (I think) close to 65% during tournament play (BET & NCAAT).

Is it safe to say that Luke's shoulder is all healed up?

Also, what does this say of WB? He heated up a few times during the season, but looked like he was in need of some off-season shoulder TLC.

Don't look now, but next year's team could surpass the shooting percentages witnessed in our 2005 FF team. Add a sadistic level of defense and an obscene amount of depth and we have a season that may very well surpass last year's in delight (and that's a tough act to follow).

OK, I really just wanted to report Luke's continuing accuracy from the 3-line, but added a bunch of filler to get to the quota! ;-)
