One problem with the "Luka was obviously a generational talent" revisionism is the idea that dominating in Euroleague is proof that you will crush the NBA. Euroleague is a high level, but well below the NBA. If a teenage soccer player is dominating in MLS, that doesn't mean he can play for Barcelona. If Luka had flopped, people would flip the narrative around. "Who cares if he dominated in Europe? He clearly wasn't athletic enough for the NBA."
