So that's just not even true. Let's take a look:
Defensive On/Off...
JB: +4.1
JR: -4.1
Defensive RAPTOR...
JB: +0.3
JR: -0.6
DRPM...
JB: -0.13
JR: +0.04
Synergy Pick and Roll Ball Handler D...
JB: 0.94 PPP
JR: 1.07 PPP
Synergy Pick and Roll Roll-Man D...
JB: 0.55 PPP
JR: 0.91 PPP
Synergy Isolation D...
JB: 0.95 PPP
JR: 0.92 PPP
Synergy Spot Up D...
JB: 1.14 PPP
JR: 1.22 PPP
Synergy Off Screen D...
JB: 1.00 PPP
JR: 1.03 PPP
The only metrics where JR is better than JB is DRPM (which had its formula changed and is not as trust worthy in many eyes) and a slight advantage in Isolation D. Otherwise JB is across the board the better defender this year.
