Luka the previous 2 seasons started off shooting cold from deep and then picks it up around 2-3 months in. I'm expecting him to follow the pattern this year and we'll be seeing 38% around December.

It's all about the FT shooting! One of my biggest criticisms for him in his career so far was that he should not be as bad of a FT shooter for a player who handles the ball and scores so much. I can excuse the bad defense and streaky 3-pt shooting as long as he is knocking down 80% from the FT line or better and he's at 86% right now, which is even better.

Kinda fascinating article about whether free throw shooting improves with a player's age:

I just have a fear Luka is working too hard.   I love how he is driving last night, but that takes a toll during the regular season.  We need to find ways to give him more breaks when he is on the court.

I fear the opposite....OFF the court. If Luka is putting in the work off the court, then he will be fine carrying this load on the court. But if his diet and work ethic off the court slack, then on the court is going to be trouble.

Luka just keeps putting up numbers and numbers yet it's never enough or there's an asterisk on everything.

Luka might have scored 40 if he played all four quarters.

I was just telling my kids that Luka is good but he is not Jack Twyman.  I hope my kids don't see this stat Smile
