That has gotta be correct I was close to that number ...I was trying to keep track of shots but did a poor job ....he didn’t score AS efficiently as Luke but darn close ...I don’t think he took 20 shots to get the 34 and if so not many more. He also couldn’t have been taller than 6’1 and he is absolutely explosive

Nothing to do with his being featured. He's featured plenty at his high school. This is about broadening his game and his experience.

I’d like to preface it by saying that tournament was one of the last two on schedule so he did play essentially the whole season. I’ve spoken with them and the sentiment I got was this: they didn’t pull him off the team but they he been told one thing for that particular tournament about how the team would function or he structured and after a coaching change that tournament was handled completely differently than as was discussed. When that was discussed post game the Indiana elite coordinators offered to send Luke to play an extra tourney with the 2020 gold team ( one year up one step down from platinum ) which is full of kids he played with previously. Keep in mind the truth is likely somewhere between each extreme that’s been presented but I agree with the response that he’s featured plenty in high school , if you’re expecting him to be a scoring feature on a team with Kaufman and konisczney as well as the volume they Thompson shoots I don’t see how there are enough shots to go around. I agree they wanted to see him work off ball some since he doesn’t do that in high school or much for 2021 ie platinum

Kristof Kendrick did have to step down after taking his position at Bradley during the middle of the AAU season. I’d bet that changed some things with how the team was utilized.

Very fair question ....most games luke is absolutely soaked and exhausted ....last night it looked like he didn’t even need to hit the showers. He only penetrated on drives in rare spots. It was senior night and it looked to me like they had a goal to get quite a few shots for Hurd And Dunnica ( who almost never played or shoot ) and then for Willmann to get a lot of points ( usually gets 6-10). Also you’d never hear him admit it out loud but I think he wants the state assist title bad this year and I counted 11 last night which included two WIDE open missed layups by the Hoover boy and one more by willmann ....Hurd and Elam missed more than 10 open 3’s off of perimeter passes from the double team. He could have very easily had 15-20 that game and I think that was the goal AND he knows he’s going to have much better guards chasing him tomorrow so he probably wasn’t as forceful driving the ball in a game he thought would be a W without him having to be aggressive. Don’t be shocked if you don’t see the exact same against Burris and Anderson prep next week....the kid understands psychology and I the has a chance to get some 15-20 point games for the role players he will give up his points and the points title if he thinks it will have Guys rolling into sectional and give them a better chance to win
