It seems to me that we need to stop messing around with putting non-shooters next to Luka.
I think playmaking and SCORING are a better fit next to Luka than "just" high percentage shooting and secondary playmaking.
We are spaced out with THJ, DFS and KP/Maxi already.
I've seen Brogdon did score this year - but there was no progression before.
I might be wrong, but to me he is just what JRich or Delon are.
Indy isn't 9th for no reason.
Maybe let's look at it from the other side. Luka is a Superstar and Superstars make players around them better. There just seems to be a mold of player that doesn't profit from his play, but suffer.
I think in this mold are players looking for the perfect shot and not taking just any shot Luka serves them.
