I think DSJ seriously lacks basketballing IQ to play with Dončić. Yes, Luka needs another ball handler, but that ball handler needs to know how to utilize his teammates, unlike DSJ, who just dribbles on the perimiter, shoots or goes to the rim, usually unsuccessfully. That can be seen with Jordan mostly. When Luka organises an attack, DeAndre usually comes out and sets a screen or something. When DSJ organises, he is just standing in the middle waiting something to happen.
I think the NBA analysts are masivelly downplaying basketballing IQ in the recent years.
His bbiq isn't the best for sure, but it is fixable.
Reports is that he is a coach favorite and he believes he will be able to adjust. He is just 21 which is very young in the NBA tbf, so there is room for growth with him.
Last night was one of his worst, and generally he hasn't been himself since wrist injury
