HE can also cut if need be. Luka is taking too many three pointers along rest of the team.
The team relying on the 3-pointer has become the trend over the last 4 years and I think RC is to blame because of this flawed philosophy. I don't think RC and the MBT really know what they're doing in terms of adapting to today's game. Sure, every team is shooting more threes but RC seems to think that it's as simple as just launching them up and building your entire offense around that style. They want to copy the Warriors and D'antoni Rockets but it just doesn't work like that for every team.
Luka's usage rate is way too high. No team should ever put that much pressure on a 22 year old player...I don't care how good he may be. That's just not putting your best player in position to succeed long-term.
