Below are opinions that are not mine, just something to think about 🤔



fukk it, I'll bite.

Think they're tied in scoring. People focus too much on the stepbacks and don't realize Luka is really playing early Melo/all Bron type bully ball once he gets in the paint. He's a legit 250, strong as fukk, with really good footwork downlow. He's pretty much a guaranteed bucket around the basket.

However, even with the 3PT shooting, I wouldn't put him above Miami Bron because the ability to get into the paint at will and finish at the volume he did isn't something that hasn't been replicated outside of healthy Zion. Combine that with a great middy, and the pressure he created on defenses was insane.

Playmaking is a wash, and the other shyt is obvious.

I think Luka needs to drop some weight though, pretty sure all of his injuries are lower body exclusive. Combine that with noted cardio issues, yeah.

He needs to hit up Jokic and get the secrets.

Much like Lebron, Luka lost to a superteam in his first title run, so we'll see what he does next.
