Dundalis Yes his defense needs improvement but if his focus is on offense right now and his go to shot, even with expending little energy on defense, is yielding a poor percentage, then he has to rethink his go to shot.
GS has been clearly the best team in the West but the West is more stacked now. Kawhi, PG, Bron all will now do the same thing GS did and they have even more respect from the refs. You think his drives are going to yield calls? If your game is 3 or drive, you better be hitting those 3s.
There have been 2-3 players in the history of the game who have dribbled around the perimeter specifically looking for a 3. It is such a limited set because it is an extremely difficult thing to do. Luka has not shown either in Europe or here that he should be a player doing that. I definitely don’t think he is a poor shooter. His catch and shoot numbers are solid from 3. I have never advocated him to become a DeRozan or a TJ Warren. But he does need a counter, be it off a post up or a pull up midrange, to have something else in his arsenal apart from 3s and drives. I do feel though that the dribble,dribble step back 3 has to go away...at least until he shows he can hit it at a high percentage.
