Also I think his offball game with Bron has improved rapidly. If he continues to improve and master this aspect of his game and continues to play alongside Bron/AR, I think the sky’s the limit for him.
“Currently exceeding all preseason expectations” is very interesting lol I for one thought they’d be good and better than projections, but I guess it is fair to say they’re exceeding expectations for most. Most people had them at mid to high 40s in wins and they’re on pace right now for 54 wins while dealing with horrendous injury luck.
This team isn’t exceeding preseason expectations at all what is this propaganda 😂
Yea but will he be dpoy – nico
Where Nico?
3rd in blocks is wild. I was expecting some of the big guys to be there, especially since Luka is not really known for his hard defence.
Post this to r/nba. Let them snakes seethe with venom
Luka has good game –> MVP?!?
Luka has bad game —> liability?!?
Rinse and repeat. So tiring lol
All preseason expectations according to who? I mean I expected us to play a bit better!
ANY star player worth their salt and I mean almost anybody will almost guaranteed get stats like this on any team if he plays damn near 40 minutes every game dominating the ball close to 40% usage rate.
Counting stats with Luka are useless, they dont matter, he can have a completely terrible 35 pts triple double, and he can also have a great, awesome 20/3/5 game… Yo should instead focus on his effort on defense and such.
Why wouldn’t he lead these things he has a historic usage rate
I’m confused. Is it Luka or the team as a whole that is above preseason expectations in these stats?
We aren’t here to exceed expectations, we’re here to win titles!
See Lakers fans? Y’all be tripping sometimes
Luka has 40% Ball Usage this season, no joke i think that’s more than my 2K character.
so he’s leading in all the volume stats because he has the ball more than anyone in the league? Wouldn’t this be incredibly alarming if he didn’t lead these?
