[@LukaUpdates2] Coach Kidd will talk to Luka about new role for him this season

spam Luka post ups
With the rumored triangle, yeah pretty sure Luka will have more offball this season.
I think having Luka operate on the post more, with capable shooters on the perimeter and DLive/Gaff at the dunker spot, they could run a Jokic-Gordon type action where the lob threat is present while Luka tries to create out of the post.
I think reducing his usage in general by not having him battle to bring the ball up every possession would be desirable.
Lob the ball.
Chuck the ball.
Taunt refs.
I like it.
Ballhog without the Ball? We will see
This is still going to be a spamming PnR team, make the defense switch and find the mismatch. That’s our bread and butter.
I think what Kidd means is that Luka won’t have to initiate the offense from the opposite baseline. Somebody else should be bring the ball up court, i.e. Winiwiddie, PJ, Naji, Dante, Hardy. Teams would full court press Luka and make him work that much harder. This should end as we have enough players who can properly handle the ball to bring it up court.
Give Luka a screen or dribble handle off and let him cook from wherever he wants on the court.
The main question is the rhythm. Luka may or may not need to have the ball in his hands a lot to do his magic. It’s the total minutes rather than usage that’s bringing up the milage. Lets see. Kidd has proven himself so I’m not against the experiment.
I like the idea of him posting up more and bringing in more off ball concepts with the triangle. If he can reduce his usage minutes and not bring the ball up or initiate the offense as much that would be great. He can create late in the shot clock. I don’t know what
Can Naji initiate the offense at all? If so I’d like to see him bring the ball up. But super excited for the season to start and already got my league pass paid for cause of auto pay. lol.
we have our elite athletic wing
Reducing his usage is paramount. Need him as fresh as possible for the playoffs. Can’t have him rolling out every single game with 1 knee.
