There are plenty of guys who play with the energy and athleticism equivalent to Costners' and I've never confused any of them with the action of laziness. <BR/><BR/>Concentration and the discipline of knowing the strengths of your individual game are frequently mistaken as being lazy or "aloof". Your out of sync with your team mates and you either look dazed and confused or like a chix with your head cut off. Neither are going to win you many comments from the spectators.<BR/><BR/>It all comes down to production and what you bring to the team goals; basic arithmetic meets psychology- had Costner consistently produced (and he had chances a' plenty) then no one would have mentioned the casual way he moved about on the court, IMO.<BR/><BR/>Luke looks different in that he knows how to stick his nose with battle under the boards and that also his glide and skill with the ball looks like a big asset on the fast breaks.Mr. Dupreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627895849603264329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-85842480704858474582009-04-12T10:10:00.000-04:002009-04-12T10:10:00.000-04:00^ Ashley,Good to see you made it up there!

However, he is very effective and was vital to his teams success. His rebounding and his touch around the rim was very good. He's got another year to get used to his size and banging with top notch guys, and I think he'll be one of the better big men in the nation.<BR/><BR/>His list of offers ranges from Florida State, and V.Tech, to Florida, Uconn, and Kansas, and obviously NC State. Also, the fact that Boo Williams invited AND started Luke on his own team is a compliment in itself.<BR/><BR/>He's a smart, very talented player that doesn't come with all the ego and the baggage that most others do. We spoke with Luke for a while and he was just a very polite and well mannered kid. We'd be extremely lucky to land Luke.<BR/><BR/>Ashley, did you watch any other games?

Especially when he put 40 some points on W.O.G. last year. We desperately need a big in 2010 and Luke would be the perfect fit.
