Based on this it is difficult to say he should take less shots because everyone else is less efficient despite mostly getting far easier looks than Luka. On the other hand I do understand the argument of others perhaps being more confident if ball would be shared more. But, most of the players on this team are still too limited. It is also possible the overall efficiency would just drops because those guys would be less efficient taking more shots that would be tougher.
I think RC was awesome at getting all players in position to succeed. Playing to their strengths and abilities. Kidd seems way more like wanting the players to fit his system, especially on defense. Problem is, his system was never really proven to work on a high level.
Luka's offense is the primary reason that we have a winning record. Our biggest problem offensively is that our 3-point specialists haven't been very good at shooting 3-pointers. THJ, Grant Williams and Seth Curry are all shooting around league average. All 3 of those players are bad at everything else on the court and have little value if they can't hit 3-pointers at an above-average rate. Luka and Kyrie are succeeding offensively despite a fairly pitiful supporting cast. We need a lot of things but we need 3-point specialists who can shoot over 40% from 3. Luka on offense is not our problem.
