I am confident Luka will find consistency again (last five games for Luka % from 3pt: 18.2%, 40.0%, 16.7%, 45.5%, 16.7%).

That's incredible and super efficient production from our two main bigs
Is it crazy to think that this is a reasonable and sustainable baseline? It seems for the most part they are getting their looks and opportunities in the flow of the game on pnr action and on the fast break. Both of our bigs have punished opposing teams for not getting back when we push the ball. It has lessened the impact of the ebbs and flows of our shooting. Their true shooting % is in the mid 70's. And with them in essence sharing most of the 48 minutes between them it seems that they can maintain a high level of energy and aggressiveness knowing that they've got someone else to do the work even if they get into foul trouble.
