In the AAU session Lucas averaged 31. 4points per game including 27 points per game in 43% shooting from three lands in the sectional easter carnival. The biggest improvement has been his shooting ability. With a confident swagger knows he can score at a very high rate scoring from anywhere on the floor. Last season 30.7 points a game.
