Luka Doncic Discussion: Clean Slate

i'd also say that i'm really not certain i trust the "blow-by" stat calculation. as someone who works with a lot of "difficult-to-quantify" data, i'm just not sure there's an easy way to unbiasedly estimate this stat.

i'd like to see the interrater reliability on it, preferably with visual cues of the players involved removed.

but anyway, the luka concerns on defense are overrated even if that stat is valid.

 

Luka is getting attacked by no names analytics aka "Talking heads" is getting ridiculous

 

It’s clearly racial. Soft pasty white euro stuff.

hopefully he’s able to shed the stigma of the silly stuff said. Maybe it’s what he needed the best version of himself. Lit that fire.

 

lol, he's a combination of steph curry and melo? he's combination of magic and bird (two other notably non-adonii(?)) who weren't outstanding isolation defenders.

those guys won A LOT. luka can, too. it's up to someone to put a team around him like those guys had. he hasn't had anything remotely close yet.

 

Luka is already better than D-Wade. Yeah he’ll probably never be better than Kobe or LeBron so what? LeBron is the GOAT and Kobe is the greatest Laker ever arguably for a franchise that had Kareem, Magic, and Shaquille O’Neal.
