If Luka is gonna disappear every once in a while on defense, JB’s position could use a better defender there. Also, the two of them need to still figure out how to involve eachother (and the team tbh) a bit more as a duo as opposed to the “my turn, your turn” thing they got going on.
Have you seen the rest of the team dribble the basketball?? Dinwiddie can attack but has been incredibly inconsistent. The rest of the rotation cannot even attack a close out. Most of the time they won’t even floor the ball and when they do it’s a circus. The only way to involve the others is catch and shoot threes…which requires Luka and JB to do most all of the work.
Compare that to the Warriors who typically have at least 4 guys on the court that can competently attack a close out. That allows you to move the ball and bodies because when the defense shows a crack you have guys that can attack it.
Stationary 3 point shooters can’t be more involved in the offense than they already are.
