Nobody talking about Luka's great defense lately. His on-ball defense, and the ability to cover passing lanes and steals, get the hand on the ball and disrupt, has been really great. In addition to rebounding of cours.e He is doing some stuff that you only see from the best defenders.
This easy correlates with him getting back from injury and not limping any longer. As well as Brunson being in the lineup taking some of the ball handling, saving some energy for Luka to concentrate on defense as well.
What this tells me is that Luka has the capability to be a good or perhaps even great defender. When injured or when overloaded with offensive duties, it is more difficult to play the best defense.
