I don't see a guy with fast enough feet, lack of strength everywhere and his steal rate is so low that it points to his general lack of anticipation. For his 6'9" height, his rebounding rate seems low too.

I don't really watch him so it's only highlight stuff for me.

His biggest attribute on defense is his versatility. Virginia is known for its defense. So he is coming from a program that pushes that side of the ball. He is someone known to guard the 3 and 4 and possibly more if he gets stronger. He is extremely athletic. Reminds me of DeAndre Hunter.

Here is a pretty good breakdown for him:

Will be interesting to see if Knicks go for best available, needs-based or just target a PG in the draft.

I’m sorry but literally everything you are saying about this guy’s physical profile for defense is incorrect

If you want to criticize his offensive game and say he’s Frank 2.0 fine but his lateral quickness, length, timing, strength it’s all right there
