HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

RE: Luka's Dunks 

This is why I think this is a concerning stat and the threefold issues that I think lurk behind it:

1) A decline in Luka's physical explosiveness (whether from injury, conditioning, bad-weight, etc).

2) An increase in defensive effectiveness against Luka (teams have "figured him out" and aren't playing nearly as much to his outside shot, which has also declined).

3) A decline in team offensive effectiveness (teams are leaving Luka's teammates open to clog the lane).

Which just makes me shake my head then bang it against the wall how we got rid of Curry. I was THRILLED when I took my phone outta my pocket at work and saw we signed him to a 4 year deal.... then traded him for nothing. SMH



And it isn't just dunks, here are the percentage of Luka's shots at the rim over the years:

2018-19: 20.9%
2019-20: 26.0%
2020-21: 18.0%
2021-22: 11.8%
