Luka vs Dort in the playoffs: 25/11/9
I thought Dort did amazing against him in the playoffs, and if Caruso does the same then I am hyped.
I just looked this up after someone was saying Caruso wasn’t as good as Dort. I love Dort, and now I love another man too.

Foul trouble shouldn’t be an issue either when we can plug in Dort, Caruso, or Cason
Caruso is great, slightly overrated
No way he’s better than Dort or more impactful than Chet
Luka is going to have a tough time in the West for the foreseeable future, and it’s only going to get worse.
Dort Luka avg 10 less points in the playoffs than his regular season avg, and the lowest he would average through his whole playoff run
A large majority of Caruso’s matchups against Luka are from 2021 or older. Luka also has specifically mentioned Dort as a top 3 defender twice now already
Also if matchup data is all that matters, [Dort](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/donovan-mitchell-stats-vs-luguentz-dort) has defended Donovan Mitchell much better than [Caruso](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/donovan-mitchell-versus-alex-caruso)
[Dort](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/damian-lillard-vs-lu-dort) has also guarded Dame better than [Caruso](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/damian-lillard-vs-alex-caruso) has
Idk why people have to go out of their way to “prove” Caruso is a “better” defender, they’re both on our team anyways and specialize in different aspects. A lot of you guys are just very weird about Dort since the trade (and even before)
Why not just be happy we have two of the leagues most elite defenders on our team?Zero reason to spark debates on who’s better
