Being a good defender is more than having the capability to do it.  You also have to have the stamina, the will, and the BBIQ to do it consistently every play.  Any advanced stat you look at says he has been bad at defense and his team is bad at defense when he is on the court.  He has shown no ability to play good defense consistently and planning or wishing or hoping that changes if he were to come here seems like a poor plan.

He has been an empty stats guy his entire career, seems to have some locker room red flags is going to cost 40 mil next year and is under contract for another 3 and will cost every asset we currently have access to get him.  If he doesn't work out (and there are reasons to think he might not) he will be our next KP.
