At under 6 feet, its going to be really hard for him not to be.  He does not have the bulk of somebody like VanVleet to make up for the lack of height.

That's a little too much of a pigeonhole for me. 

Every NBA player at about 6' is a problem defender?  Is every player with a particular wingspan a problem as well? Desmond Bane has a short wingspan, so... Footwork maybe? Lots of tall players have that problem. 

I'm not denying every player he's defending will want to find some kind of advantage, but the question will be how limiting is it to the team's production.
