Some of the advanced stats seem to love him. I'm not sure if that's real or if Lamelo is just horrific by comparison. I watched most of the Boston-Charlotte game the other day and his team defense was solid, but man to man was not so impressive. They stuck him on Pritchard/Smart most of the game instead of Kemba. Hard to draw many conclusions from one game though.
I suspect he's not going to be a plus defender, but if he can at least hold his own on that end (unlike THJ) and shoot + function as a secondary playmaker (unlike Richardson) the Mavs may still come out ahead.
