Dirks rebounding in traffic, willingness to play defense, and unselfish but supremely efficient offense means more. There has to be efficiency and willingness to play hard on both ends. When Luka realizes that, he has the potential to be in the top 5 all time.
Dirk's impact on team winning was FAR better at 23 than Luka's has been. And to me that is the most important metric. I absolutely agree that Luka has a FAR higher ceiling than Dirk. But Dirk was the better TEAM player at this juncture. Once it "clicks" for Luka he has the chance to blitz and sprint past Dirk.
