When Luka has a decent assist-to-turnover ratio AND puts up spectacular numbers in just 3 Qs, he gets my vote. Every time. When he does both of those things AND plays some notable D, holy smokes!!!
My initial thought was a welcome back to KP combined with him playing very well in his first game back. Conditioning looked great. His being on the floor made Luka feel great too apparently.
But, Luka was so good it is impossible not to give him the Dirkie. Dirk himself often totally dominated as well. We are not worthy! .......but actually, we do deserve this!

This Reunion Rowdie says the AAC needs "Luka's Lunatics" for the Luka/KP and gang era.
Aside from the sloppy start to the 3rd Q, this was one of the best Luka games ever. His shot/pass selections were almost perfect. None of the 9 shots behind the arc were those early, forced step back threes. He let the game come to him and played in rhythm.
