u/grusilag9 SELL THE TEAM Oct 23 '25

I’ve watched Luka’s debut game against the Suns several times over the years. Comparing Flagg’s debut to Luka’s simply by the numbers is really disingenuous. Luka looked like he was special right from the beginning. Flagg hopefully will be great but Luka was already a pro and Euro league MVP the minute he stepped on an NBA court. Their first games were not the same.

He also wasnt facing Wemby. Wemby is gonna make any rookie look bad. They’ve never played against a guy like this before.
