I get that we have a lack of shot creators on the team and that in the playoffs Luka will be handling the ball 40+ minutes a game...but damn it gets boring watching such little ball movement. Love Luka...incredible talent...but him dribbling the ball into the lane running the equivalent of footballs RPO every possession gets old. In the playoffs that maybe what has to happen...all 70+ regular season games though?I totally agree. On any one possession, Luka driving to the hole or taking a step back is unstoppable. But over the long term, I think he needs to pass more and let others get touches and feel relevant. I am sympathetic to KP, after all the Mavs are the one who stroked his ego early on and had Rick visit him in Latvia. I think it is healthy for guys to disagree on how to be teammates, JET and Dirk were in each other's face all the time.
Next year, I think Luka really needs to work on a catch-and-shoot game. He just NEVER does this in the regular game flow. He needs to take a minimum of like 10 dribbles before any shot. I think a catch-and-shoot dimension would give him comfort to pass the ball more, knowing that when he gets it back he can be very dangerous.
