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
he might be doing well with stats
but on the vibes per game scale? Not so much. The vibes per game scale is an innovative stat that allows high iq judgement of nba players that uses high quality metrics such as “the eye test” and “gamefeel”.
Sure, he’s getting 30 points per game. But on vibes? He’s one of the least impactful players in the league after accounting for the eye test and vibes. Unless he gets those vibes up, he just cannot lead a team to a championship.
