Start JB in as the second ballhandler, and have Luka guard the weaker of the other team's wings. Heck, Luka can guard fours in most cases as well as he guards any other position.I’ve seen enough of Luka’s defense to know that he can be a good defender when he wants to be. I think it’s a combination of knowing that he has to shoulder so much offensive responsibility and that he is still has a lot to do to optimize his physical body.
I think the latter will happen as he ages and matures while the former will happen as he gets more talent around him. Brunson can definitely be a part of that.
