Are there better players? Sure. But his fit is just so seemless. He is the flamethrower on the court and a leader and exemple off.
Is he streaky? Hell yeah.
Is this a problem? I don't know.
Mathematically it will win as many games as it looses.
Being streaky adds to the spacing pull. If I am the opposing coach I would do more to keep him quite than to stop Luka. Luka will just bully you no matter what, but if THJ goes Nova he will hit anything from everywere. And Luka will get him the ball in a pocket.
The same is for Burke on a lesser level.
I am fine with THJ at the moment, I really don't like giving him another contract. Last year I liked that the Curry + THJ combo meant there was a good chance that one of them was hitting their shots. Often Curry would get more minutes when he was "on" at the expense of THJ's minutes. If Burke can be in that similar situation then great.
I really want someone who has a better history of shooting and/or scoring in general or if possible playmaking as well. THJ has a history of not shooting the ball particularly well, especially when he has a larger role on offense, as he did in NYK.
