2739455, Luka’s lack of speed or pace hurts him tremendously late in

games as the defense against him becomes faster and more aggressive.

Even Bird played a lot faster, or sped up his play against the Lakers in order
to be able to match their speed. Also, Jokic is a lot quicker than Luka with the ball
as a facilitator and scorer. Jokic is sneaky quick.

Luka just seems like he is stuck in quicksand at times when he is getting
into the offense, and on defense he is basically not even there because he
is too slow to react.

So the question is being asked should Luka be the primary ball handler?

Would he be better at the 2 or 3, especially in the second half of games,
and let a quicker, faster player run the point?

I’m not really a fan of his game. I’m more of Jokic guy, so there is some bias there.
