He is like a better passing version of Julius Randall. I’m sure that comparison would fall off at a certain volume, but I have not seen him reach that volume yet on this team, and I am game for pushing the boundary a little bit.
Maybe as Randall, but not as Randle. But yeah he´s not the advertised 3 pt shooter, but a fantastic slasher/passer, mid-range floater. Just a useless skill, when Luka is dominating the ball too much. I think today you see how expansive him, Washington, Hardy and Grimes can be, if you let them all get involved. Lively has three assists, too. Kyrie let the game come to him, too. We saw glimpses of this, when Luka didn´t bring up the ball. Every time somebody else initiated the offense, we scored regularly in the other games, too. I´d bet most of Luka´s good plus/minus stats this year came from the stretches he was more of a passenger than the captain.
I´ll be honest, if Luka had played, I would not have watched tonight.
