Ryan Nembhard

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.

Bane, Brunson and other similar players have strength and girth despite a lack of height. Nembhard has neither. He's a nice player but he's always going to have a problem defending and getting posted up. Even the great Allen Iverson had problems defending taller, bigger guards.
