we know he's not explosive as an athlete in the traditional sense, but he has good anticipation and he's a big dude... many times we've seen him move his feet well and cut someone off their drive and he holds his ground without fouling. With that anticipation he sometimes gambles a bit and can be successful especially in reaching around from behind to poke the ball loose or outright strip it.
It was interesting to see Luka dropping back to the middle to cover the post on several plays, especially with Maxi or Lively out guarding the perimeter.
