I am not suggesting we just "label" him, but I don't have much to go on other than people from Europe who have followed him more closely. 

Well, in fairness, we do have him described as a spoiled rich kid. Do we really know whether he is spoiled or not? I know I don't have that kind of info. Maybe he is. But maybe he isn't. 

I also think Luka is very polished and mature for a 21 year old and then in other ways I think he is like a 8 year old. Such is life for all of us. I am NOT picking on him by any means.

Yeah, that's an issue. Human male brains don't fully mature until the man is about 25, so he's in the last phases, and sometimes, he'll act like a kid in the meantime. But overall, I think he shows the makings of a fine leader. And it would be important for the Mavs to have a realistic sense of his limitations and nurture his development. I think we are saying the same thing, here. 

NOTE: I LOVED his last three post game interviews.... 1) where he said the team was terrible and wasn't giving the right effort and 2) and 3) where he said he loved the effort and was confident the right effort would get the right results and that this adversity would lead to great things.

Agree. He has clearly had media training, and he is almost always very professional in his statements to the media.
