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.
What is this based on? To start with, Luka was 22 most of last season. Second, Dirk didn't get to the WCF until his 5th season (24 years old) with a much better supporting cast (Finley and Nash). Third, the best advanced metrics that go back that far say Luka was more impactful to winning.
