He's one of the most gifted drivers of the basketball the league has ever seen but pounding the rock that much takes a toll on your body. Even LeBron, who's a much better conditioned athlete, can't do that for all of his minutes on the floor. Defense takes effort too, so it makes sense why the Suns have targeted him the 4th. It's just too much responsibility and the faults in his conditioning start to show up.
It also goes back to depth, we can't fix that in an offseason.
I mean the Mavs tried to get Brunson and SD going and they responded by repeatedly bricking layups. The Luka-centric offense is a necessity but as we can see it ends with Luka exhausted and then the team crashes because he can't move on D any more and no one does anything on offense.
