We haven't discussed Luke much on this board. Very curious to see what people think his contribution to the team this season will be.
First vote in, 10 pts., 6 boards.
This year or for his MU career? I say 0 and 0 through the first semester...
8-12pts 5-8 RB. depending on if he has a 3 ball.
I think Fischer's production will depend on how much Taylor plays up to his potential. Like I said on another
site Taylor is the key player on this team. Burton has to have help.

Defeatist...
If he averages 20/10, he'll go to the NBA.
15/8 might make him our leading scorer.
I don't think he makes it to 10 ppg, but he'll more than 5 ppg.
I'm thinking 8pts and 8 rebounds per game this year.
8 rebounds a game is an awful lot for a college player....especially 1 without a track record.
I will be pleased if he averages 6-8 points and 4 or 5 rebounds
I would think 8 points 5 boards is reasonable and achievable this year. With only 15 "big" fouls available (Taylor, Fischer, Anderson), I think foul trouble will limit all of them a lot of games.
What did he avg. last year at IU? Sure he is a year older but lets be realistic. Last year people were saying JJ would avg. 10+ points a game, how did that turn out?
7 and 5 is my official prediction
I voted 5 and 4. I think he will do better than that, but he will not be a 10 and 6 guy. I predict 6.5 and 4.5.
I think if our point guard can feed the post Luke can do well. I'm going to say now though 7 points, 4 boards
Who put 20 and 10?
I put 15 and 8 but answered it as if it's for his entire MU career. I think it'll be more like 12-13 and 6-7, but there are some wide gaps between options.

It would be for this current season.
I heard he injured his shoulder over the summer and that his shoulder problems go back at least until his time at IU. Can anyone confirm or deny this.

Yes and yes.

He's looked fine while on campus. Never seen him in a sling.

I think he elected not to have surgery for a torn labrum his freshman year and elected to do PT instead. It would not surprise me if he re injured it.

Bummer. The odds are that it will happen again.

Who put 20 and 10?
I put 20 and 10. This is just an average.
He'll probably go for 40 & 20 regularly, but I was taking into account that he won't play for the first half of the season.

Is Luke injured now?
I think he is fine now. The issue with this particular injury is that it can become chronic.

I have no idea.
I am just going by what I was told by my Dr. when I dislocated my shoulder (and small tear in Labrum)...the odds are significantly in favor of re-injuring it.
Hopefully this is not the case with Luke.

It will remain chronic until he bites bullet and has surgery. 6 month recovery process arthroscopic , Then need to get back in game shape. He would have been better off with the surgery last January after he transferred .
7.5 and 4.5.
