I have a feeling this will change when he's a bit older and more willing to sacrifice to get some help. A few more years to develop personal relationships won't hurt, either, because that seems to be the single biggest driving force behind these team ups.
Just have to keep reminding ourselves: Luka is 24 in a system designed to be ruled by players who are 28-34.
I'm hoping it does change. This is one thing that hurt us with Dirk. He was never interested in being part of any of team ups or being friends with the other up and coming stars. Not being on those Olympic teams hurt us with recruiting, and could hurt the same way with Luka.
But Luka seems to have such a different personality than Dirk off the court. Before and after games he is mingling and shaking hands. Dirk never did that. But on the court, Luka is hated. And thats not always a bad thing.
