Luka he's a better tough shot maker.

Whomever is open. This isn't the 90's anymore

Last second shots are still mostly taken by the team's best player. I'd rather a contested drive from Luka than an open 3 from Vando or someone else.

defends whos guarding but most likely bron. luka struggles against long athletic defenders, if it's 10+ seconds where he can dribble and square up for a good shot i'd go with luka .

Luka, Reaves, Bron. I’m fine with either.

All three can drive, kick finish, spot up.
Since the 1976 merger LAL 11, CHI 6, BOS 6, SAS 5, GSW 4

PG: Luka / Vincent / Bronny
SG: Smart / Reaves / Knecht / Mañon
SF: LaRavia / Rui / Thiero
PF: Bron / Vando / Kleber
C: Ayton / Hayes / Koloko

I didn’t ask who takes the last shot. What I wanted to know is who gets the ball in crunch time.

Reaves. He's quicker than Bron and Luka and he is good at fishing fouls. He has a good BBIQ so I will put my money on him on crunch time. Luka would be my next bet.
