Is anyone able to do the calculation, if Luka proceeds at this rate as this and the last season, where does he end up on the all time scoring NBA list?
All time assist and rebound lists?
Until when can he play at this level, he is not using much his athleticism but he is more about the skills. Maybe 36? Nevertheless, his quickness is important for him in gaining separation for his step back 3 for instance and in penetration. We saw how he could not do it same way when limping although he was still effective. Nevertheless due to his style of play he should be able to more effective long term a lot more than lets say Trae and Ja etc.
EDIT: I tried to calculate if Luka plays total of 18 years in the NBA. At this rate he would be able to be 3rd all time in assists, 5th in scoring total points, and about 30th in total rebounds.
The key for Luka is to keep shooting FTs as well as recently. And get his 3 point shot also way more consistent. Then his projection could maybe even point to be the all time scoring leader, who knows. And his defense, he was fantastic on defense again, since Brunson started to take some playmaking duties on the offensive end, Luka has excelled as defender.
Key is winning championships however. That's what he will be measured with ultimatively, and his legacy will be defined with.
