What´s the difference between an iso at the ellbow that leads to a contested long 2 (your example Kawhi makes 44% of them) and an iso step back 3 for 32%. For a single possession I would take the 2, no question but as a go to move for the whole game it is the 3.

That is exactly my point. For a single possession which is a sequence of what most last minute games come down to, even you would take the 2. If that is the case would it not behove Luka to have that in his arsenal where he feels confident to go to it in the clutch? You can’t just expect him to do that in the clutch if he is not doing it at other points in the game Again, I am not asking him to abandon the 3s.
If you are saying that he can post up and generate some easier shots for himself or some easier 3s for his teammates if they double him in the post, than go for a traditional mid range game, that is perfectly fine too.
All I am saying is relying on 3s when you are a poor 3 pt shooter or driving and expecting calls that even Harden does not get as his teams go deeper into the playoffs and another stud is guarding you, has a much lower ceiling than what Luka is capable of reaching.
