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)

The only negative to Luka's game is the constant whining for calls that makes him miss going back on defense because complaining in that moment is more important to him. Other than that, he's a top 3 pick in an all NBA redraft right now because dude is just that good

This year he's toned it down quite a bit. And he's energy on defense has improved too. He's obviously not quite there yet but he's done a good job so far.
