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

Yeah, I actually think BOTH Kleber AND Powell have shown pretty significant progress over past seasons when put in that "outlet" position in the center of the floor. Like, a lot of progress. They're making more good decisions than bad, imo.

But, I also think Wood's ability to be a threat to shoot, drive or find an in-between solution means that in the long run they'd probably be better off getting him acclimated to that role. 

The thing is, I'm not sure you can put that (completely) on Kidd. I'd be shocked if Luka didn't have a lot of real-time agency in those decisions. They ran it like that because Luka decided to run it like that, imo.

I’ve been real curious as to how much say Luka has in that decision. So many times it feels like he’s calling for screens based on what’s best for him and not for the screener/offense. The next time down after the Maxi turnover they actually did get Wood involved in that action and it was one dribble to an easy dunk. 4 on 3 should be an easy bucket every time with him there.
