Why the Mavs are Potentially Much Better Already...

[Branduil]

I do think a Luka-centric offense WILL work (see Slovenia as an example of what I am referring to), however the Harden Rockets are not my ideal.

The last two years of Harden's Rockets he averaged 35 pts, 7.5 asts. In BRK he was 24 pts, 11 asts (much closer to what I would want from Luka). My ideal for Luka is something like 21-25 pts, 11-14 asts.

I really don't see much point in trying to pigeonhole what Luka's stats "should" be.


If Luka ever actually gets to play next to a REAL superstar, I could actually see his points(and efficiency) going up, simply because teams would be forced to guard him honestly instead of doubling constantly. It's counter-intuitive but I really think he might score MORE next to a real star.
