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

If defense doesnt double, then Yes. Its all about what defense does. When doubled he will get the hockey assists. When not, he absolutely needs to attack more and shoot, in order for defenses to double later. He is making all the right decisions when to pass and when to shoot. When defenses do not double I would like him to shoot even more. This will get his shooting percentage up until playoffs.

I disagree on so many levels I don’t know where to start. First and foremost, your theory of shooting more will, without a doubt, improve his % is flawed. The % is the %, no matter how many shots he takes in the game. Shooting more or less can affect that number, but there is no amount of surety which direction it will go. So that’s in game, then when you go to in-season, that’s closer to a true indication as to where he ends up if he shoots more. 


Second, we’ve seen the effects of Luka freezing his teammates out during games. We don’t need MORE of that.

Third, when he takes a deep 3 with 18 seconds left on the shot clock, that is not “making all the right decisions when to pass and when to shoot”.

Fourth, the point of having more ball handlers is to give Luka needed rest throughout the game so he can be less tired in the fourth to take over. If he is shooting MORE, the reason to have 3 ball handlers is diminished significantly.
