He's a deep bench role player in the NBA.

That's still a higher level than 99% of people who have tried will get to.

Disagree. I think he could average 15 points a game if he got starting minutes. Devise schemes to compensate for his defensive liabilities.

Sure, every offensive specialist sub in the NBA would score more if they played more.

That's why they are where they are, they can all score.

Problem is there's no such thing as a scheme to compensate for weak defense besides maybe playing zone and that's not a way to win in most people's opinion.

Kirk and Fran are jealous of the level of nepotism.

Luka took the safe path but no shame in that. I wonder what he might have commanded in the open market and how much playing time was possible.
