He often comes in for DFS or Bullock and takes one of the other teams toughest match-ups. Your eye's don't deceive. He's in the 22nd percentile in PPP defensively in isolation. But, he's in the 75th percentile against the PnR ball handler (something he does much more often than defend in isolation). He's dead average when he has the rollman and when he's defending a spot up shooter (but average is good if you are assigned to guard a good offensive player).
Offensively, he's in the 79th percentile in transition and 74th percentile as a cutter. But, he's only in the 35th percentile as a spot up shooter.
Thanks...and I don't really mean this as a negative either. Josh has the skills to be in time a very good defender. It just seems with all his movement and quickness, good ball handlers and scorers eventually get to their spot and gets good looks. It could be as simple as more experience and using a bump there, a forearm here. I think this experience will help on his offensive game as well.
