Luka played 43 minutes against the Clippers and 39 minutes (including the last 16) against the Blazers. Incredible carry job in the last couple of games but even if he continues to dominate it´s not a longterm solution. The minutes/load are impacting his late game performance. For comparisation. Lillard 34 minutes. McCollum 28 minutes. Blazers have two reliable shot creators and can stagger the minutes. Mavs have Brunson and THJ but both aren´t legit 2nd or 3rd options. KP is a good scorer but he is not a ballhandler and simply isn´t good enough in iso or post up situations. Assisted on 73% of his 2s. 96.4% of his 3s.
Needs remain the same. Backup big or a big forward (don´t think Powell or WCS would be in the rotation on any other playoff team). Reliable playmaker that can run the team when Luka is on the bench.
