This isn’t new for him. Luka Garza has excelled whenever he’s given an opportunity. From Maret School, Garza’s High School in Washington D.C., where he averaged 24.6 points as a senior, to the G-League, where the 6-foot-10 big man holds a career average of 29.9 points per game, defenses must turn their attention to Iowa’s all-time leading scorer or they’ll regret it.
In the Minnesota Timberwolves’ preseason finale, Garza scored 29 points in 32 minutes of play. The 25-year-old big connected on 11-of-17 field goal attempts and cashed in on 3-of-6 three-pointers. Garza led Minnesota in points and rebounds while matched up against the reigning MVP.
Throughout the preseason, Luka averaged 16.0 points and 5.8 rebounds in only 19.0 minutes per game. The former Iowa standout made 61.7 percent of his field goal attempts and drilled 44.4 percent of his three-pointers. Garza’s offensive bag is deep, which allows him to remain extremely efficient. No matter if it’s a mid-range fadeaway, a spot-up triple, or an off-hand hook, Garza is comfortable putting the ball in the basket.
