He played much better defense as a 4 with Capella behind him, but his offensive numbers went down (18/7). I don't think you get both the good defense and the big numbers unless you pair him with a floor spacing rim protecting center (last seasons KP and/or Maxi).
Defense was much better with Capela, but he can't be featured in the pnr sharing the floor with Capela. His pnr possessions went from 5.1/game in 19/20 to 2.5 in 20/21. Maybe why Atl decides they can't max him, they need Capela for defense and they don't get proper value out of JC if he's not the primary roll guy. He can be the primary roll man here.
