Nekias Duncan on latest episode of The Dunker Spot delivers some startling news:
“So far this season [Luka] has defended the most ISO’s in the league this year. 46. On those possessions in which the team tries to attack Luka in isolation, they’re generation 0.83 points per possession. Which is an elite number defensively.”
