Omahen. Not sure if this reply will be collated with my others. I am not asking RC to rant and scream. I don’t like coaches like that. Just use the bench liberally and in a calm manner if the player is continuously making the same mistakes or playing lazy defense. Else it is enabling.
As I said previously many here were talking about all the bad and selfish habits of US teens due to AAU play and how Luka was different because Euroleague taught a team style. So let us be fair and call out Luka too when he goes through long stretches of doing that. For those pointing to Luka’sassists to counter, Westbrook averaged a triple double and no one considers him a team first player. Add the totally lackadaisical effort on defense too.
Being young is not an excuse. He has all the tools. Just need to be molded the right way before it is too late. I want him to be a Jokic or a Bron. Not a Harden or a RW. I know many teams would love to have a RW or a Harden but there is a ceiling with those types.
