Greenberg of Winegarner
“Lukas has a good basketball frame, is skilled and agile, has good hands, a sound feel for positioning on defense and a nose for the ball as a rebounder and shot blocker. He can face up and shoot medium range jumpers and is a developing ballhandler and low post player. He loves the game, has dreamed of playing collegiately in the states, and is a strong student from a very supportive family. He comes highly recommended by coaching friends of mine in Sweden and coaches who have worked with him on both the club and national team level.”
