Luka’s worst game as a Laker + Draymond’s defensive mind

essentially the point guard. He's a middle linebacker of the defense. He's Ray Lewis, right? It's not how we typically think about defense.

Luka’s worst game as a Laker + Draymond’s defensive mind

Man, this is tough, dude. Mostly because so many of like, normally we just go, who are the best teams defensively? Right. And all those teams, they don't have like a guy. They got a lot of guy. Oklahoma City is the best defense in the league. Right. Can you say it's Chet? Of course, Chet is a major part of that. But also it's Lou Dort and Cason Wallace. Right.

Luka’s worst game as a Laker + Draymond’s defensive mind

And like how they how they operate schematically. a part of me wants to go with Evan Moglen, but I'm not like, is he having that kind of year defensively? Like it's tough to find these, these kind of like singular defensive forces. And I think that's why Draymond is in the mix. Cause if you look around a league, it's some great team defenses, largely inspired by how he plays defense, right?

Luka’s worst game as a Laker + Draymond’s defensive mind

Like that is just the emphasis he's created for people to focus on defense. But it's really difficult. Normally, we can just go to one of the top teams and, like, who's anchoring that defense? But these teams are so thorough defensively, like, from, you know, one through seven, one through eight. Like, it's hard to single it out. So, I want to say, like, a Chet.

here's one that I feel like maybe to me, like, yeah, it's going to be tough. Draymond is such a singular force. You're going to have a hard time finding somebody who has that, that's that kind of like isolated impact. But I wonder, Drew Holiday.
