Well I’m wrong again. Checked my favorite advanced stat, the LEBRON, which is kind of a mix of box score and plus minus with offensive and defensive components, and Luka is, astonishingly, 5th this season. In fact, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen him with a positive number on the defensive component of that metric. It just seems like he’s been so impaired, but he’s still been good. If he gets healthy, stays healthy, and finds his form, he’ll make it into the MVP conversation.
