To have him buy in speaks to his maturity and gives us an actual chance at being the best defensive team in the league.Just enormous, if he can do it consistently.
Questions were asked about how Luka was sold on developing this aspect of his game. Devin Harris said it was a matter of pride -- Luka didn't want to be considered the weak link, having to be hidden on the defensive end of the floor. Rick said Luka didn't really have to be sold, but that he has come to understand that it is part of his leadership responsibility to set the tone. Luka sounded like he has bought into that.
However it happened, kudos to all involved for the evolving transformation.
