"THJ is a negative defender whose presence consistently hurts his team's defense."
Defensive On/Off...
20-21: -1.7
19-20: -0.6
18-19: -2.4 w/ DAL, -6.6 w/ NYK
17-18: -1.7
He is a consistent liability on the defensive end.
Luka improved his defense and his on/off impact is worse than ever. Mavs are 5.5pts worse on defense when he is on the floor. In both cases it is easy to understand why. They are replaced by all defense/no offense guys like Iwundu, Green and Johnson. They also played a lot of minutes without the guys that are missing.
Just based on the eyetest I was happy with THJs defense in most games. He has never been an onball liability and in the first few games his team defense looked a lot better. Might be because of the new scheme or better teammates but he wasn´t hurting the defense.
