The issue is Luka feeling he has to do too much. He needs to let go a bit and be content to play off the ball a while too. As I said if he is double teamed and passes off the ball he has done his job. He doesn’t have to get an assist with the first pass or go back and get the ball immediately.
Ultimately, the ceiling of the team is at its highest with Luka as I am sure we all realize. But yes so far KP's defense looks to be slightly more important than Luka's offense this season.
I blame the triple-double phenomenon: Luka is starting to come down with Westbrook Syndrome. And this is not an insult, it's a compliment. Playing at a prime Westbrook-esque level at age 21 is special. The catch is what happens long term, how does Luka evolve?
