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

In a discussion of, should Luka shoot more, there is no forest of trees, the evidence I laid out is what it is. Luka IMO should shoot less and assist more (in ways SD showed last game), if Luka truly makes the perfect decision everytime, the lower amount of shots will increase his % so his ppg won’t go down that much, but his assists will go up.

But that's what I'm trying to point out. At this point it's up to his teammates to score off of his passes, not for Luka to pass more. He's 3rd (17.2) in the league in potential assists. The only two higher are CP3 (19.4) and Harden (18.5). CP3 has the exact same passes made per game as Luka (57.1 vs 57.4).

Luka is already making smart deliberate passes and is up there with the best in terms of setting people up. And that's with him seeing the most double teams in the league. If everyone made their shots, teams can't reliably double Luka. Thus it would increase his FG% because he's getting much better looks. That is without him touching his FG attempts.
