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)

Stars are supposed to elevate a team. Luka puts no effort on defense. Doesn’t box out to get rebounds despite his size. Cry’s about every call that doesn’t benefit him etc. Even if you don’t have the right personnel for the job you work collectively to fix those issues. So iso defense might be bad so you work on team defense. Rebounding is an issue, you don’t blame your undersized center, you have other guys help with boxing out. I think there are issues with coaching and Lukas personality personally.

He acts without consequences in mind. I wish it was longer. Suspend him a year and he’ll behave.
