That is not the case with Luka, his defense has become better, yet another evidence he is in better shape now. That's one of the reasons the defense overall has improved.
The team D....
Luka On: 112.2 (112.7 last year)
Luka Off: 82.7 (106.9 last year)
In 5 games there is no significant improvement on D when Luka is playing (+0.5)....there is a +24.2 improvement when he is sitting though. Luka's D is not what you are imagining it to be. As I have said elsewhere, he is moving his feet pretty decent in one-on-one situations, but D is WAY MORE than one-on-one situations. It is a constant five-on-five dance that requires constant effort that is NOT being given by Luka.
