That´s another reason we need a legit #2 scoring option/attacker. Luka rarely gets an open three and his piss-poor FT shooting is also a sign of fatigue. There is virtually nobody else on this team that can draw double teams or collapse a defense, so Luka is getting an open 3pt look.
Poor FT shooting is something he needs to correct. The fatigue excuse makes no sense there.
Yes we need more playmakers but this is why I keep harping that a 5 out offense with one playmaker is not a good idea. Luka can post up. High post with dribble hand offs and movement can be run with Luka and with KP.
You cannot keep running this offense touting its historical efficiency, and when it comes up short against good teams(7-12 against teams over 500 as per what someone posted) then suddenly say it is because Luka is doing too much. It is a poor offense that we get away with because there are many bad teams, and because Luka even at 20 with his flaws is a transcendent talent who is masking a very poor job by the coaching staff.
