Offense takes care of itself. With them both on the floor, it's the other team that has to adjust. Spacing issue I feel takes place more when we're on defense. One of them has to leave the post. Luke has nowhere near the feet to defend the perimeter. Edu might but has little experience guarding someone mobile if his feet aren't planted. In the paint, he's obviously above the grade for a big man.

I'd like to see Edu out of the key, guarding a mobile big man or even a small forward. It's a next level skill anyhow. Though, I'm not sure any team outside Buffalo has a player that matches that description. Edu would have benefit greatly a year of practice against Fletcher.
