I am not asking Luka to be Magic or Kidd. I am saying he can score just like Jokic scores. Like CP3 scores.
The problem is a lot of the media and fans ( including Cuban who gloated about the European way va AAU hero ball) rushed to anoint Luka as a basketball savant. They point to the Euroleague MVP and the Olympics to show how Luka is already there. However when we see on a daily basis especially his tendency to be a volume 3 pt shooter with poor efficiency is not an aberration. A lot of what he does can be termed as AAU heroball stuff.
Luka is a phenomenal talent. Just like a Harden. They are not basketball savants yet. I am not saying it because of the lack of a title. I consider CP3 as a savant despite no titles. Luka’s game needs a lot of growth. Mostly on the mental part.
I dont think Luka takes dumb shots in the Playoffs though. I think Luka is pretty on point when it matters. Im not saying he is perfect...but he is about there. Hes just really really good at basketball offensively.
I have no complaints with Playoff Luka...its night in night out Reg Season Luka I have a few issues with.
