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

[ItsGoTime]

I know "ball hog" has a negative connotation, but I truly don't think it does in this case. Luka is a premier creator. He has led the most prolific offense in NBA history at one point. 

He is also an otherworldly scorer. When you have that kind of talent, it makes sense to give him the most touches on ball to create/score. 

Of course ball movement is always king, but I haven't thought for a second this season that Luka's ball movement (or lack thereof at times) was ever a major issue.

Eh, I’m of the opinion that until his shooting % is where it should be, he should increase his assist #’s and decrease his point total. Now, to this point in his career, he hasn’t played on a team that does all that well capitalizing on his passing ability, so out of necessity, he has been who he is. 


I will say, I thought we’d see more of that Dinwiddie pass inside the paint to a wide open DFS at the rim for the score. He seems to want to pass out to the 3 line basically more than I’d like to see. He throws oops, but very rarely do I see that wrap around the defender pass that could open up a lot more completed assists as opposed to potential assists.

This is nitpicking, but he doesn’t need sweeping changes in his game, he needs small, incremental tweaks. That change also doesn’t take the ball out of his hands either.
