Luka Garza is leading the G-League in scoring, but his 29.8 points per game isn't the statistic that sticks out to Garza. Instead, his 3.2 assists do.
"I never averaged three-plus assists in my life," the Timberwolves forward said.
During his four years at Iowa, Garza, a 6-foot-11 center, never averaged above 1.7. He says his playmaking has been a part of his fit within the offensive system the Wolves like to play. What they do in the G-League at Iowa mirrors what they run on the NBA roster.
The fit has been seamless, he has said, as he has bounced back and forth between Iowa and the NBA squad.
