What makes it worse, is the wrong positioning of players outside, that even when they get it open, dont hit their shots. Meaning the defenses can collapse even more into the paint as they dont respect our shooters.
Reverse back two years and you have Curry, THJ, KP, Maxi spaced well with proper positions on the outside, and the defenses had to respect each and could not collapse the paint. In addition, you only had Powell as roll man. Luka had single coverage and destroyed that. Any double team was punished by good spacing outside.
Luka doesnt attack into the paint as its not effective enough, there is too often double teams coming up. I count that many times a game, whereas before under RC that number was a lot lower.
Did not know where to put this but the double team tracking is really highlighting this observation.

According to NBA.com´s tracking Luka leads the league in drawn double teams. On a percentage of possessions base and also in total per game. Mavs scoring effciency on those plays is mediocre.
