Breaking Down - Kalin Lucas

 

Wow there’s so much to say; I mean he’s quite stacked up the stat’s here playing ball for the green. So lets start out with this, a Detroit born guard started at St. Mary’s Prep in Michigan. ‘Too Easy’ as his team would call him. As known as... Kalin Lucas.

 

Too Easy has three years so far in his resume for college basketball, he’s a junior  for your information. So many people have evaluations for ‘some’ of the top players that play for #1 teams (by the way he’s #1) in huge powerhouses. But I believe that if we didn’t have Lucas, A) No Final Four on 2008. B) Izzo would be no where- well you know what that’s being to harm on ‘em. It’s sort of flipped flopped in both ways. Like 2 is better than 1. Without a guard, Izzo would be in turmoil, and without a coach Lucas would be lost. C) The fantasy Spartan team we’ve seen, would MAY NOT have done some of these feats.

 

He punches in an average of this season 15.6 points per game and 4 assists per game. This all show is a team player. The opposite of players like King James, and yes I believe LeBron James is almost a ball hog. His 3 percentage from the arc is .384, he’s kept 40% solid in his 3 years. But my favorite part, is that Kalin last season had 41 points in total for 3 pointers.

 

That there my fellow bloggers is some material that scouts for the NBA will look for. So now let’s head into more depth of his stats. Six blocks last year, one the year before (being a Freshmen). He average’s 1.6 rebounds a game, round it up to 2 - last year. That’s just the main focus on facts of being a guard. 

 

But as I always pictured it, your not known for what people recorded but what kind of act you put onto the opposing team. That is why he was the 2009 Big Ten player of the year. My favorite game that reminds me of Lucas lightin’ up the other team is his career high of points a game. 24 points, what a stunner. This occurrence took place on 29th of January in 2009. He also had nine field goals. I mean what can’t he do?

 

He’s 6 feet, and 190 pounds. Quick, agile, and mobile - what a run ‘n’ gun team needs. Hustling down with bigger guards, he can keep up. He’ll out run and be great on the baseline. He always tries to go in towards the net and not stand back for a 2 or lucky three. Aggressiveness is key in Basketball and that gives a ton of drive. So I’m looking towards his Senior year. And that sums up Kalin Lucas. 

 

 Go green.

Yeah

Kalin Lucas is a scrappy guard who can take the ball to the hoop and that’s what basketball should be like. Instead of jacking up 3 pointers. Good Breakdown.

Wow. Thanks. It took me 3 days. But I’m really impressed with this video, he has the greatest potential but he’s really small.

Git 'r' dun.
