I actually don't think Luka needs to do much off-ball in the sense that when he's on the court usually the best option is for him to have the ball. Where Luka doing some off-ball is handy is Luka being able to take off a few plays when he's on the court. If he can give the ball to a guy that can actually make something handy then Luka can still space the floor without exerting a lot of energy. Part of what's so tough on Luka is that he has to spend a TON of energy when he's out there. I mean that 45 playoff minutes of basketball is a freaking hard 45 minutes of basketball.
So a secondary playmaker helps you in 2 ways: 1. Let Luka catch his breath a few times while on the court but still spacing the floor 2. Allow you to play Luka 40 minutes in the playoffs instead of 45 bc you can actually run an offense when Luka is resting.
