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)

    I think they made that post after the one I made, but there was actually some good insight from it.

    Luka is elite but he doesn’t fit the current team that well/ the team doesn’t fit his needs that well, doesn’t mean he isn’t a top 5/10 player, just means he needs specific pieces around him, like with Harden.

    Luka is going to be painted with same brush as Harden in 5 years.
