He gets too close to offensive players airspace and gets a lot of silly fouls. Can also over pursue on close outs which lead to easy blow by. Even when he does have good positioning on an offensive player, I'm not sure how much his contests bother them.
I agree with this, and I think a large part of this particular issue is that he's clearly not accustomed to how physical things get in the NBA. When things do get physical, he doesn't seem to understand (yet) what will get whistled and what won't.
