Kinda crazy. Looking at the numbers he is one of the best in the league at the rim (even though we have to mention that he it goes along with a high foul rate). About average defending the 3. One would think that this is enough to result in positive net impact but that isn´t the case. Overall +1.4 DFG%.
A little bit like KP in the past. Giving up crazy high percentages from midrange. Going along with terrible pick and roll defense. Not willing or able to play high enough to contest pull up attempts or floaters.

Brings us back to the coaching question. There has to be a way to "hide" him on defense. Take advantage of the things that he can actually do. Keep him out of the pick and roll. Pre switch/rotate. Play zone. At least try something.
