The new defensive scheme has simply highlighted the weakness that Luka is as a team defender.
In seven games the team gives up 113.9 pts when Luka plays....and only 88.6 pts when he sits. This is a 25.3 pt difference. It's crazy. Last year the difference was only 5.8 pts.
P.S. For those eager to misinterpret things in their own way, let me be clear: I am not saying all of that is on Luka. He is obviously playing when the best offensive players on the other team are often playing. But even if you account for that, this number highlights the stark difference in team D with Luka being present.
