But we've seen this team completely shift their offensive philosophy where pre Luca trade, they ranked 26th in three point attempts per a hundred possessions post Luca trade. They are now second in the NBA in three points. Like that is a significant shift, right? We're talking bottom five in terms of in attempts to top two behind only Boston.

And it's, it's funny because Boston's still like almost 10 attempts ahead of them because they just, they let them fly. But I think with one of the things that, that JJ had lamented earlier in the season was the, in it,

Just how tough things were for them offensively, despite having LeBron and AD and those guys not necessarily commanding a defense's full attention in terms of always drawing two to the ball. But you see it now. They just run high pick and roll with Luka and Jackson Hayes or some type of double drag action. And all of a sudden,

you get two guys on luca and then it just becomes a math game of four on three or three on two and when one or two of those guys are lebron and austin reeves uh that's just like grade school basketball for the lakers so with lebron especially if he is the the guy on like the weak side kind of catching that outlet pass or that that you know swing reversal all of a sudden he can get downhill

He can shoot the three. He's been shooting above 40% on catch and shoot threes this season. Or he could find the open man and it becomes really simple. So I think the way that teams kind of freak out whenever Luka runs a pick and roll, that's become a significant advantage for the Lakers. And really, the shot quality has gone up. The results have not really been there.

And I think they are due for some positive regression offensively, where once they start to actually make these threes at like a league average rate or potentially even higher, just because they're getting so many open ones, you can see this team take a significant step offensively to match the defensive end. So in terms of Luca and JJ, I think they see the game very similarly, like realistically.

Luca is fine playing off the ball. We've seen him screen a little bit more. We've seen him come off pin downs and they've run some off ball actions for him. So I think JJ has made it clear that Luca is the point guard. He is the primary ball handler, as he should be. And I think right now the biggest thing is just the reps that they got to figure that out.
