Compared to Jokic it should be more difficult to double Luka because he isn't getting the ball on the ellbow. But I also remember a few games against the 76ers (Simmons/Embiid) and Nuggets (Gordon/Jokic) were he really struggled with traps that involve two big defenders.
Wolves defense was super quick to get back into position after the double team and rarely messed up rotations in the Nuggets series. If they double Luka whoever gets the ball needs to make quick decisions and cannot be passive. Cannot reset the offense 2-3 times per possession because role players hesitated. That's what cost Denver the series.
