I never get tired of reading about Luc and how well he has done for himself. It is a testament on how far DEFENSE can take you.

I especially liked this passage.

"The one great thing going for him is he's a very good individual defender," Skiles told SI.com before a recent Bucks' game at Minnesota. "Often times, rookies, what they struggle with, is picking up some of the concepts and schemes and individual defense. So he's got the one thing that he's very, very good at.

"He's very good laterally. He's got good length. He uses his hands well on defense. He's not afraid to use the core of his body to body people up. He fronts people in the low post -- he doesn't just let people catch it where they want to, he'll get people off their spots. There's an awful lot there to be excited about going forward, on the defensive end."

Congratulations Luc! Here is hoping that you make the Rookie team for the all-star break.
