I found a thread on twitter and the guy breaks down Luka’s impact with supporting data. Is Luka a generational talent or an overrated player? Everyone seems to think he’s a winning player but the stats say otherwise.

Some stats below:

Kyrie with Luka together: +/- +2.95 (286 mins)

Luka (Kyrie on bench): +/- -3.5 (275 mins)

Kyrie (Luka on bench): +/- +5.6 (142 mins)

I think he might be tbh. Dudes incredibly skilled and talented, and one of the best one-on-one players I've ever seen. But he doesn't really do any of the little things and never runs back on defense. The Mavs being better with him off the court basically every year seems to be a bad sign for me
