I get that the 23-yr old is long and can try to force Luka into the teeth of that super-long Minny interior D. But isn’t that exactly what our offense TRIES to achieve—Luka driving into the lane and drawing the double team?
I mean, I’m the one who claims to have lupophobia. But not because of the 185-pound twig. Methinks Minny’s gonna need a bigger boat.
Weren’t they playing Towns on Durant in the first round for extended minutes? That series was over so quickly I can‘t really remember. But first checking Durant and then Jokic would at least qualify him to try against Doncic. Same with Edwards, but Luka should be able to owerpower him.
If they don’t have anyone who can at least somehow guard Luka one on one it will all depend on us exploiting the double teams much better than the Nuggets where able to.
