After 5 years I'm starting to think he may be one of the hardest players to ever build a championship team around because of his style of play and defensive shortcomings. Especially when it comes to finding a good center/big man that fits with him on both ends of the floor
Man...I love Luka's bag...love it. Deepest offensive bag ever...and I think significantly so.
Its just that it comes with a doughy kid that isnt explosive. Add to that, his IQ is best displayed in a massaging style, high usage roll on offense.
IMO, fans have become accustom to highly skilled, explosive 6'7-6'9 players willing to pass the rock around. Passing the rock you could argue gets old and leads to turnovers....but over time...watching the same player do the same thing over and over again is harder to watch than a bunch of passing over and over again.
I agree that he might be hard to build around as there are not many Chris Bosh's available at center/big...but it just comes down to night in night out style with me. I think Luka is a Playoff Super Star...but hard to watch night in and night out.
