I don't know if having 1 below average stat means he's still a bad defender. Especially RPM, which is a lineup based stat. I mean Tyrell Terry is ranked 20th in the league among all PG's in DRPM for example, and I don't think we're calling him our best defender.
All I'm trying to say is that the eye test has continued to show to me that Luka's defense is markedly improved. Could he still get better? Of course and I'm not trying to say he's a perfect defender. But I wouldn't call him a bad defender anymore.
