What +/- tells us is that we should send Luka to the G-league and start Frank. Would anyone dare to follow that based on this stat?
I just learned about the Raptor algorithm - It tells us that Luka is the 165th best player in the NBA.
My suggestion is that they really need to tune that algorithm. They are missing a lot of variables in their equation.
Let's look at it this way. If we don't have Luka, I don't believe we are are now 7-3. We are more like 4-6 at best IMO. Also, we would not have made the playoffs on regular basis since he entered the league and changed that culture at this team.
Basically, it is similar to what Skip is doing. He is finding some not fully representative single stat that highlights Luka is bad, and using that against him. It is all correct, that he needs to improve in some areas. But please, look at the 100 other stats that tell different story, and watch the games please.
There is no doubt in my mind that he leads by example, and makes the toughest situations during the game for his team.
