Luka Doncic Discussion: Lean Mean Slovenian Extension Machine

I'd argue there are bad possessions where he definitely becomes way too heliocentric. He's had games where it definitely leads to bad shots and TOs and it was a negative for the team

OTOH I do get annoyed that he doesn't take as many shots at the rim as I'd like. Really frustrating against Houston where in the post he's got a one on one and he passes it to 3 point shooter when that normally a shot he makes in his sleep.

I guess where I'm going with this is when it's free style I do think it's a problem but within the offense where the play is created and works to create an advantage I have the opposite feeling shoot more

 

Well, I am probably better than Luka, so he should just do what I say.

 

i'm here, and i'll repeat it's kobe deja vu. to read the discussions of his game, you'd think something very different than what happens. i don't think he takes more "bad shots" than most stars. nor does he make more bad passes than, say, the unassailable jokic (watch a jokic game now and then if you don't believe me). he's also not as bad a defender as he's made out to be. he's just a lightning rod for critics, for whatever reason. but hey, i guess that's how we were able to get him in the first place, so i'll stop complaining.
