You say you don’t disagree while trying to make sn argument that disagrees.
I don't disagree - Luka passing more and shooting less would be better for the Mavericks.
...which is why defenses are attempting to force him in the other direction. They want him to shoot the specific shots they're allowing him, which they deem to be more difficult for him, rather than pass to others for more comfortable attempts.
He wants to pass more and shoot less, so much so that he's throwing it right to defenders to avoid putting up shots after his initial moves. It's what he's used to, and he hasn't learned how to solve this new "they're daring me to score" problem. YET.
It's also true that at times he has hunted shots and put up some ill-advised attempts, but in my opinion, not so much lately. I believe I see maturation in that regard, personally.
I don't disagree with what you're hoping to see, just that it's a matter of Luka's choice at the moment.
