If you watch him long enough, you'll see the "it" about him. He's just a baller. IMO I hope he gets 11th or 12th spot at the all star game.
People like to point out "what if he's another Tyreke?". Tyreke was really good but he didn't have this aura of a polished veteran with high basketball IQ during his rookie season. Luka is a tremendous basketball player.
IIRC
Tyreke's jumper was a huge issue going into his 2nd season.
Luka's jumper might need a few adjustments, but it doesn't visibly strike me as anything more than some minor tweaks; He's also shown the ability to hit the 3 pointer.
the goalposts for his naysayers just keeps going.
"isn't athletic enough, can't shoot, will be the next Mario Hezonja," to "well fine he's the best rookie but he's hit his ceiling."
It'll be difficult for anybody to post above 20 5 and 5, but it's about improving efficiency, upping his 3 pt%. Being able to improve defensively, and developing a post game.
I do think two elements he should focus on-adding weight/working on post game, and continuing on that 3 point shot.
He had pretty bad game for his standards. But he did hit some important tough shots again, so there is that.
