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

In general, I agree with what you say.  Luka has indeed transformed this franchise and I like Luka’s increased physicality.  However, for me, the thing that’s keeping me from agreeing that “this is the best….Luka, is his poor 3 point shooting.  IMO he’ll never have a great % because he’s the bail-out play at the end of the clock and Luka has never seen a shot he doesn’t think he can’t make.  But, for him to be his best, he has a to shoot better from range than he has thus far this year.  And there’s still plenty of time left in the season for that to happen.

I agree, great point. His 3pt shooting is terrible at the moment. It also takes away some of his inside game, since the defenders are primarily focused on the paint. This makes it harder to beat the primary defender when penetrating. It's impressive what Luka is doing inside considering his bad 3pt shot. It should be better towards playoffs the 3 point shot like previous years. But we don't know for sure. If it does, it will open even further the inside game when primary defenders need to step up and protect the 3pt shot.
