1. What happens during the 90% of the time when Luka has the ball? If DDR is standing on the perimeter his man will ignore him and come double Luka. If DDR goes inside then he'll be crowding the lane if Luka tries to drive. You can't compare him to Booker or CP3 because even though they're good mid-range shooters, they can ALSO hit threes.
2. DDR is one of the worst defenders in the league. He would compound our already serious issues on that end, we'd be playing 2 guys who can't guard anyone on the perimeter, and Luka isn't great there either.
There are better options who are better fits out there.
I'm not sure why you are replying to my post. Nothing you said is counter to what I said. I don't really want DDR. I've been on team youth movement save for Chris Paul.
Regarding Luka and 90%. Part of the reason this team should want a secondary ball handler and facilitator is that you want to bring that 90% way down if for no other reason than to keep him fresh in the clutch and throughout the season. It is the same reason I'd like to see the team get better at rebounding. Triple doubles are great and all but at some point the team is relying on him too much.
