When Luke Kornet committed to Vanderbilt back in April 2013, he was an afterthought, a guy Kevin Stallings took a flyer on because he was Frank Kornet’s son and he’d grown from 6’3” to 6’10” during his senior year of high school.
In 2016-17, he was a First Team All-SEC player. Yeah, I would say that worked out.
Luke’s senior season got off to a slow start. Through Vanderbilt’s first 12 games of the season, Luke was averaging 12.7 ppg — but he was shooting 39.8 percent on twos and 28.2 percent on threes. But while we were trying to figure out just what was wrong, Luke stepped up his game once SEC play began.
