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)

Luka is a great player, also Kyrie.

Dallas has neither now nor last season a good team at all, despite it Luka bring his team in another level till playoffs.

If Luka plays together with Kyrie actively in a game, normally he has less statistics as he play without him.

Last season had Luka Doncic (before the playoffs) one of the best statistics in the NBA (maybe the best) and so we can't talk about an overrated player (he was the goat), especially he broke at one night a historical record.

Btw: Actually we can't expect good statistics by Luka, because of a left thumb injury.
