From what I read he became a much more focal point on offense but it’s not like he suddenly became a liability on defense .
How many point guards who are great offensively in the NBA really play defense throughout? As long as he has the ability he can’t be targeted. Also, as the Reddit thread said there are folks who criticize Burries as well as being overrated on defense.
This is not to say you are wrong because universally Philon is considered in the next tier. I am just puzzled that someone who clearly is uber talented didn’t get a major bump up with how he played against UMich.
