Dirk had Kidd/Finley/ and then Nash. KP stays on ICE all the time. And those that want to get on him, remember his ONLY 20 YEARS OLD. Most of us could barely hold a job at 20 yet we're expecting him to be 28 year old Michael Jordan.
I asked a simple question. Forget the numbers. Name one aspect of his game that Luka has improved this season regardless of how the team ends up? Honestly there is none. It is nitpicking because he is already very polished but the few glaring holes in his game are poor shot selection, always wanting the ball, and poor effort on defense. None of those have improved at all.
His shooting percentages are bad. If his passing is getting assists the teammates are not that bad. I said it is nitpicking because he is already very polished. But efficiency and smart play are not dependent on teammates. If that’s the case Dirk had some really poor cast around him too. Defensive effort is also not dependent on them.
