Well his sample size is small and his rookie year I would not have said so. But....
1) My eyes told me he was this past season.
2) He led the team in +5.1 defensive on/off.
3) He had a non-negative +0.03 DRPM.
That tells me he is a strong defender all things considered. Like I said, "we'll see moving forward."
The best defending small wingspan player of all time might be Chris Paul (6'4.25"). EVEN CHRIS PAUL HAS A BIGGER WINGSPAN THAN BANE!
Just a random rant/reminder to folks:
You don't play basketball with the top of your head, you play basketball with your hands and arms!
Wingspan is way more important than height IMO as a predictor of anything in the NBA.
