Booker and Luka play very different. Luka is Pg, Booker isn't, Luka has 10 drives per game more than Booker. Luka has more than 2x assists. So please don't compare those 2 players.
The number of drives like the potential assists just show he's extremely ball-dominant. Many Suns fans like me want Booker to move the ball more. Both of them though like to take early shot clock 3s and call for screens immediately they cross the half-court line just so they can drive to the basket, thus the comparison. Yeah, they will pass for a lob or corner 3 eventually with Doncic obviously being the better and more talented passer. It's still a 2-3 passes max in a possession, which to me becomes boring at some point. I find Jokic's passing way more impressive as he's not dominating the ball so much. I would imagine more players, especially good ball-handlers, would like to join the Nuggets to play with Jokic, rather than the Mavs. There is a chance the Mavs are stuck with picking from role players and Luka eventually decides to go and form a superteam somewhere.
You do realize Luka's "ball dominance," led the Mavs to the highest ranked offense ever last year, correct?
Another weird stat in the no D era. Nobody outside Mavs fans will remember this fact in a few years. Nothing memorable about how Mavs play on O, certainly not a showtime team. Very similar to Rockets offense when Capela was on the team. Either James lob to Capela, corner 3, step back 3. Harden didn't win a title with this style, interesting to see how far Luka goes with it.
