He's been checked out this game if he isn't in the primary action. Sure he's been a great individual defender, but PJ has been the best defender overall.
One example is right out of the Clips timeout, after an offensive rebound Maxi just gives up and concedes a wide open PG 3 cause he ran into open space instead of sticking with his man. Offensively he's been unplayable. Can't make a wide open set 3. Can't catch a pass. Throwing away easy hand offs.
He hasn't been our worst guy by far today. That goes to Gafford, Timmy, and DJJ.
