For sure. 1 of JB and or Dinwiddie could technically alway be on the court with him. So moving the ball up court shouldn't be a problem anymore. And definitely don't want to dullen his edge. I honestly don't think that's even possible. Some guys are inherently 'that guy, pal', he just needs to learn how to control the force and read what he can take advantage of with efficiency.
To me it would mean, Luka seeing - he's challenging me to take him off the dribble and he's being a bitch about it, so I must defeat him in that fashion because he's a constant pest going back a ways. But it's not just 1v1, he has sagging defenders and random help doubling. So spread it and you can talk your mess as you back him down and embarrass him etc. There's other ways and he will likely learn them all. The kid is soo damn good.
On the other hand I personally like Mann, he's a guy who plays hard ans has some talent and isn't going to shy away from any match-up. You want that guy and hate to play against him...and I'd like to have him.
