NBA Comparison: N/A

Strengths: Luke is an elite scorer at the college level … Averaging over 20 points a game in each of his last 3 years, he at times carries his team on his back in the toughest conference … Crafty around hoop, he finds a way to score and finishes well around the rim, moves well in the paint and reads what he has given to him … One of the hardest working players around, hes gritty, strong and persistent… absorbs contact well and gets to the line quite frequently … Has the ability to face up to the basket and shoot, and occasionally can take the defender off the dribble from the elbow … Positions himself well for rebounds, good nose for the ball on the offensive glass … Sees plenty of double-teams, and his passing has improved as a result … Has a great feel for the game, and regardless of how unorthodox his game is, he’s one tough competitor who finds a way to get it done … Measured well in the predraft camp combine with excellent length (standing reach for his height – 8’10") and strength numbers (combine leading 23 bench press reps at 185) …

Weaknesses: Luke’s biggest weakness and toughest obstacle to overcome will be his lack of athleticism, explosiveness and height, resulting in a lack of a true position at the next level … Too slow to guard the 3, undersized at the 4 … He has the ability to square up and shoot medium to deeper range jump shots, but can’t hit them nearly consistently enough to call them a strength, and without improvement will struggle to make it in the NBA … Takes a ton of shots, although thats just a product of him being on a team that lacks alternative scoring threats …  Defensively his lateral movement is a liability, and he will struggle to keep up against taller and quicker athletes at the next level … 4s in the NBA will shoot over him down low, and 3s will blow by him on the perimeter … A low release and not much spring in his knees on his shot, combined with his lack of height, will cause problems for him on the offensive side of the ball when being guarded by true power forwards in the NBA
 
Overall: Luke can flat-out put the ball in the basket, and his work ethic is unquestioned … He is a leader, and the heart and soul of his college team … However, his lack of athleticism, explosiveness and height will limit his potential and ability to be effective at the next level …
