Dunks and threes has him as + 0.5 on defense but -0.8 overall. RAPTOR has him as -1.3 on defense and -3.2 overall. I don’t doubt there are some other advanced stats indicating he’s an above-average defender but I haven’t seen them. I don’t watch Charlotte games unless they’re playing the Mavs or the Pelicans so I can’t claim any direct knowledge of watching much of his defense. I don’t think he’s a good player overall though and I’m glad we have Grant Williams and Derrick Jones Jr. Instead. Especially for the numbers mentioned.
