I mean, it is obvious to anyone watching that Luka is starting to trust his teammates more. I’m not sure if this is having the effect of lowering his usage rate, exactly, but the ball is moving in Dallas in a way that it just wasn’t at the beginning of the season.
One of the big issues facing the Timberwolves, in my opinion, is that they literally do not have a player capable of initiating offensive basketball once a team takes the paint away from Edwards. They have plenty of finishers. It kind of seems like they don’t have an offensive system in Minnesota, so it seems odd for him to criticize the Dallas system, which just turned the “best defense in the league” into Swiss cheese.
I agree.
Regarding Luka, I think he's becoming really great at being willing and able to make the right play based on the defense and game situation, whether that results in his own shot or a shot for his teammates.
Regarding Ant, he is more of a pre-positionless basketball shooting guard. I think they need a point guard for Ant to thrive.
Not very astute ^^^^
