ill be honest, I was one of those that said luka would be good but never a superstar. I was thinking 17-19 points 7 assist and 5 rebounds but I certainly liked him more than trae young but I knew trae was the best option at #5. then hearing the announcement of a trade coming through and dallas getting Luka I felt excited but boy that excitement I felt was no where near what it should have been because from rookie season forwards its been nothing but magic.
IIRC WCC and Bamba were higher than Trae if we stuck with #5.
It’s why “Maybe Barnes+Bamba+DSJ ain’t that bad” was the prevailing vibe before the trade happened lol
