Defense may not be ALL NBA, but you can't criticize the effort. His shooting % has improved, but I agree he doesn't always read the situation properly and assert himself when necessary.
In his defense, he's a role player on a team that has had a LOT of roster massage the last season and a half. Look at the roster just before the 2023 TDL and look at it today. Luka, Josh, DP and THJ are all that's left and DP rarely sees the floor now while THJ may be wearing out his welcome (despite the positive support from Kyrie). Josh isn't a wave maker, so he's content to keep doing Josh and try to fit in with the changing team dynamics. He doesn't necessarily shine most nights, but he's brings a nice consistency as this team grows together.
None of this is wrong - *but* the issue is they paid the man way too much.
Also, you forgot Maxi.
