This season, Luka ranks 2nd in 3pt attempts per game at 10.3, just behind Curry at 12 per game. He also ranks just 2nd behind Steph in 3s made at 187.
He is shooting 3s at a very healthy 38% overall from downtown in mostly self generated shots, yet he is shooting 41% on catch and shots at around 2 attempts per game.
His percentage on wide open 3pt shots (+6 feet out) is a scorching 42%, and his percentage on open shots is 37%.
And just for the funsies, he is also improved as a FT shooter, going up from 74% last season to 78% right now, a whole whooping 4% improvement!
MVP in my book.

He is truly generational, it was beautiful watching him deep fry those stale buns.
I hope that FT% goes around high 88-90% ala Dirk.
We know, post this on r/nba
He is 2nd only to curry this season. Difficulty matters and his % is hindred by him actualy taking heaves at the end of shotclock/quarters all the time unlike many other stars.
Curry is in the league of his own ofc.
The momentum in the 3rd quarter with those 3 pointers was crucial
Luka must have really taken last season personally. He’s cleared up most of his few weaknesses over one season. Way less bitching at refs, better conditioning, better defense, better 3pt and FT shooting. He’s about run out of things he’s “not good” at
This guy is the fucking definition of what an MVP is. He is doing things I have seen anyone do. He’s locked in on defense as well? Playing with one of the most injured teams in the league and now we’re seeing what it’s like when they’re healthy around him.
