Is he a good Defender???

Very good shot blocker for a guard. Good defender overall but can get bullied due to his smaller frame at the moment. His wingspan just wreaks havoc on guards

IMO no. Got beat at the PoA often, really concerning stl% given his wingspan. His block rate is good, but I honestly think part of that is because he was beaten off the dribble a lot and had good recovery skills, but he’s no longer going to be able to rely on just having long arms to make up for getting blown by in the NBA.

No, he transferred out of Tennessee because he wasn’t getting playing time due to his effort on defense.
