How so? If you're talking about when Luka goes all offense I believe he does that because he's getting no viable support from the rest of the team.
When you have a generational type player--and they are fairly rare--the team needs to be built around that player. This means that everyone on the team needs to mesh with HIM...not necessarily the other way around. Of course it helps if that player--Luka--is an intelligent and personable person and the coaches know how to get the best out of him...while keeping the inflated egos under check. Or...it may be the other way around: that Luka needs to know how to get the best out of his coaches--and the rest of the team. But that's asking a lot from such a young man.
My meandering point being that Luka is the heart of the team. Everybody else is supporting cast. Some of them can be GREAT supporting cast...but supporting cast they are...
