@"Kammrath" and @"ItsGoTime", you're both right, of course.
However, the reason Luka's turnovers are so high lately is (mostly) because teams are playing him to pass, not to shoot. They're sitting on the corners, for example, and playing lots of his favorite passing lanes as well as some of his go-to scoring moves (without having to commit multiple defenders).
I think you can make a great argument that most of the turnovers are simply times when he should have shot instead of passed. The bottom line for me is that to get to the next level, he needs to make more of his shots. That might seem obvious and not necessary to state, but the point is that I'm not sure the answer is for him to limit his attempts. That will probably make him more efficient, but I don't think the offense is ready to function yet if he simply allows himself to be a non-factor on too many possessions.
