This year
Kyrie and Luka on - +2.95 Net rtg (286min)
Luka on Kyrie off - -3.5 Net rtg (274min)
Kyrie on Luka off - +5.6 (142min)
Last season in the small sample size, +7.64 with Kyrie on and Luka off (319min) +1.94 with just Luka (1800min)
Luka has been averaging 30-7-7 but his impact does not seem nearly as high as Jokic who is averaging similar numbers, now obviously Jokic is much better but the point is the numbers are similar yet the impact is not close at all. Now this could be because his defense is dreadful but either way there is something missing
Also Livelys impact has been huge with - +5.67 Net rtg (337min) with him on the floor and -2.11 Net rtg (431min) with him off
Luka slows down the pace too much and the only time other players get to touch the ball is when they get a pass from Luka. With kyrie, everyone is involved and they play with a faster pace.
It is odd that despite Kyrie’s off the court issues and his reputation as a flashy iso player, he is extremely good at sharing the ball with others
Mavs are 6th fastest paced team in the league this season.
