Good Reason To Like TLC

You can almost hear Brett Brown “BAustrailian” accent saying “Let him play” in this one.  And playing is what TLC needs.  In the month of March 2017, he is averaging 8.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and .7 steals on 24.5 minutes per game. In that period, he is shooting 39.6 percent from the floor, and 32.5 percent from the perimeter.

But he needs to keep an eye on his fouls.  He played a five game stretch where he averaged 4.3 fouls per game.  When he gets that under control, look out.

Luwawu is graceful in his movement, with or without the ball. The basketball court is not a “get to my spot” space. Rather it’s a dance floor, and his moves are instinctively choreographed.  As the team brings on the likes of Ben Simmons, that choreography will begin to show up in highlight reels.  He moves to the right spots and Simmons will get him the ball.
