Nekias Duncan on latest episode of The Dunker Spot delivers some startling news:

"So far this season [Luka] has defended the most ISO’s in the league this year. 46. On those possessions in which the team tries to attack Luka in isolation, they’re generation 0.83 points per possession. Which is an elite number defensively."

How long before Luka can shrug off the terrible defender allegations?

I would just like to note, there are multiple types of defense. Luka can be legitimately elite at isolation defense and still be bad at all other aspects of defense. That being said, I don't watch enough Luka to comment further.

From what I remember last season, his worst trait defensively was ball-watching and getting backdoor cut. Sometimes I saw him even getting face cut
