DB has been really solid (individually) to great (team-wise) on D so far. Yes, you are right that he has missed some rotations but that is because he HAS done his job with great effort and after multiple scrambles is still learning his teammates and when switches happen, etc. It just looks bad when he misses a rotation because he does it so confidently....again because the EFFORT is there.

In his 91 minutes on the floor the Mavs D has been REALLY, REALLY good (giving up only 98.9 pts/100 possessions): +18.2 from his 245 minutes on the bench. This is not because he is the best individual defender, but he gives effort, does his job as best he can, and is willing to get physical (he has been part of some nasty collisions so far).

I am very confident from what I have seen that overall he won't be a detriment to team D when he plays.
