    Default Luka is not a bad defender. PG's and SG's are mismatches for him.

    He has a SF-PF body but he matchs with PG's or SG's on defence. So those matchups are mismatched.

    Just compare Luka's size with his opponent team SF's, PF's on this playoffs.



    Luka: 6-7, 230lb

    This round:

    Draymond: 6-6, 230lb

    Otto Porter Jr.: 6-8, 198lb

    Andrew Wiggins: 6-7, 197lb

    Previous round:

    Jae Crowder: 6-6, 235lb

    Mikal Bridges: 6-6, 209lb

    Cameron Johnson: 6-8, 210lb

    First round:

    Royce O'Neale: 6-4, 226lb

    Bojan Bogdanović: 6-7, 226lb

    Danuel House Jr.: 6-6, 220lb

    Nah bruh he gets cooked by every position. His defense is definitely suspect.

    Son legit weighed over 260lbs in training camp, and early in the season.
    Read that again.
    Then google it if you don’t believe me.

    He has lost at least 10-12 of it, maybe 15 at most over this season.

    He weighs 245-250 right now

    Let him guard PF/C

    Draymond earlier this season live on TV said that he and Luka are near the same height but that Luka was significantly heavier and difficult to control when he uses his body in the paint.
