Okay that meant less turnovers, but it also meant a lot of difficult halfcourt offense. Today is all about making quick decisions (against more legal defensive schemes) to create open looks and with that simply come more turnovers. That´s just what you have to accept.
If Luka played slower and more conservative, he´d only have two turnovers, but his lesser talented teammates would face a lot of lower quality shots. That´s what I mean, when I say Carlisle needs to leave Luka some creative freedom and he has to accept some of the flaws of players like WCS, too.
It´s better WCS contests eights shots defensively and has two defensive mistake in between, than having Jokic treat Powell like he doesn´t exist for 10 plays, while Powell does everything fundamentally correct. That´s the reason Powell started so long, when WCS is clearly the better option, even with the still existing flaws.
That´s the biggest challenge for Carlisle imho.
It turns out that turnovers are really costly:
