I'm interested to see how he fares next year when players start to play him much tighter.

Defenders give him a lot of room and he roasts them for it. When he's played tight, his handle becomes a little sus and he picks up his dribble with his back to the basket far too often.

To be honest, I don't know why long wings don't just press him in the final minutes. Best way to stop Luka is to smother him. He can be funneled into forcing bad shots/passes.

Pick your poison.

we'll probably get a look at this when teams start tightening up their defenses for the playoff run. i think he'll be fine. he uses a lot of skill to get around defenders and refs are starting to give him superstar calls.

I guess you haven't been attention to the Mavs this season, because they've beat good teams all season long at home. It's on the road, where the Mavs struggle at.
