As he gets better players around him he is providing them with more and better opportunities to score and win. If Luka is rolling, though...what the hell...let him go. He'll still find players around him that are open. Even though this is a team game, there will always be that one best player. Who should we play?
Wizardry? We ain't seen nothing yet. I think, AS LUKA MATURES, he'll become a true floor general who'll utilize the entirety of the team in ways seldom seen...if ever. Even Luka has to have help though. We've seen that in past years.
The only thing that may stop Luka is frustration from team management. Then he'll jump ship--and I don't think he wants to do that.
I dont want to argue about the lack of talent on those teams, if Luka was sending a message to FO or if it was by the FO/Coaching staffs demands.
I think its bad for basketball as a product if widely used and frequently used around the League.
My opinion is that it should be employed sparingly during the regular season.
No need to argue semantics about "dribbling the air out of the ball" as its a phrase I got from this very website. No need to act like you all have never seen poster frustrated with that style of play or act like you have not seen post from posters thinking the newer, up tempo offense is refreshing compared to Rick-ball.
Getting back to the topic...I think Jalen, KP, Dejaunte have valid points about that style on a regular basis.
