This year
Kyrie and Luka on - +2.95 Net rtg (286min)
Luka on Kyrie off - -3.5 Net rtg (274min)
Kyrie on Luka off - +5.6 (142min)
Last season in the small sample size, +7.64 with Kyrie on and Luka off (319min) +1.94 with just Luka (1800min)
Luka has been averaging 30-7-7 but his impact does not seem nearly as high as Jokic who is averaging similar numbers, now obviously Jokic is much better but the point is the numbers are similar yet the impact is not close at all. Now this could be because his defense is dreadful but either way there is something missing
Also Livelys impact has been huge with - +5.67 Net rtg (337min) with him on the floor and -2.11 Net rtg (431min) with him off
Generally speaking, star players that have very high On/Off possess following 3 characteristics:
-
They are not a ball hog. They facilitate fast ball movement.
-
Extremely efficient passers who prefer passing to open teammates to taking a shot themselves
-
But they are extremely efficient shooters themselves
-
Yes. He’s still plenty impactful. Top-10 player for sure, but PTS-REB-AST-TS% would make you think he’s in the conversation for the best player in the world but I think he’s quite clearly not at that level.
lol this sub
Yes, he has great box score numbers and is an elite offensive player but his defense is an active hindrance to his team.
Lol after every loss we get a post like this. At least be original my guy
Yes
bones for luka

NBA wouldn’t allow Luka to the clippers cus that means they cant have the annual Luka vs Clippers playoff series
