It is perfectly reasonable to think a player is great/generational/all-nba ect. ect. and still be able to point out his flaws and wish he would improve upon them. Heck people even found fault with Dirk once upon a time sacrilegious as that sounds today.
Last night was a great example.
Luka was HUGE in helping the team win against CHI and put up 22, 14, and 14. But he also SUCKED in a lot of ways. His shooting was poor, his shot selection was frustrating at times, his complaining to the refs got him distracted from the game, and his effort on D was often lacking. And yet he was +26 and had a great positive impact. And all of this is while being overweight and a step slow.
He has SO much room for improvement....which is EXCITING. Because he is already great in so many ways.
