You apparently don't watch the games then, because he is a good defender. But, he has the upside to be great.His only game is to drive headlong into the paint and the occasional fade away. Teams have him figured out already, he has more minuses than pluses at this point. He doesn't dedicated enough of his energy to defense but he could end up being a good defender if focuses on it more. With his incredible wing span I thought he would be a good defender already.
