I was pretty confident Australia would win this game, because it was obvious Luka was empty for awhile, which is a pretty bad spot going against Thybulle/Exum.
No doubt in my mind that Luka has to and can get in better physical shape, but nobody can be in the shape that the Mavs/Slovenia demand from Luka on a daily basis. If the Mavs don´t get him a secondary ballhandler soon, it will wear on him badly and his defense will never improve, because the offensive workload won´t allow it. They need to reduce his offensive workload and he´ll automatically improve on defense just for having better legs under him.
Do you think he would relinquish control and play off the ball? I'm not so sure.
