Roll out the red carpet for him to jack up 15 threes...if he makes most of them then so be it but based on percentages, he won't. And him taking those shots means less of what he does best - run the offense and make plays for others.
Everyone here focusing on Luka and his 7 missed threes. Ignoring the fact that literally half of Chicago was guarding him, close all driving lanes because they just didn't care about Luka teammates being open. Did he had a single easy lay-up in the second half? Most of his baskets were very difficult and ones. It is really easy to be smart from behind the computer how someone should drive against 4 players. Despite all the bad stats, Luka was still by far best player in +- on the court.
The real problem was an absolutely horrible bench.
By the way - Valentine would be a nice pick up for our bench. Might be cheap to get.
