Terry Rozier is 6'1" or 6'2" and around 185 lbs, but he was also a mid-1st rd pick. Also, the game has just evolved and length and athleticism on the perimeter are really sought after.

Short answer, yes. It's mostly positional. He's not a lock-down POA guy, but he should be decent.
6'2 in shoes with a 6'8 wingspan and was known as a defensive dog and was a solid 190. Like I said, has to have some combo of size/length/girth/tenacity. Rozier had length and tenacity.
Because we dont even know the draft order and you're guessing.
I doubt most teams have anything more than a very rough draft of their big boards. We are so early in the process that nobody can really know how things will shape up, but that's really the whole point. I wasn't meaning to throw shade, but for people to be so confident that anybody definitely won't be available is just a projection of their own opinion.
We will see. One of the reasons why I lean the way I do is that if there were a bunch of exceptions to the rule due to SSS….we’d see them. I consider myself to be a pessimist when it comes to guys with poor shooting….but at least there are examples of that happening.
IIRC, the only two perimeter players to have this low of stocks and get an all defense vote in the last 10 years are Devin Booker and Austin Rivers who each got a single vote (probably not deserved). So while there’s always a chance he could be the first to buck the trend, I’m just not considering him a strong defensive prospect because of how rare it would be given his indicators. I think he’s a defensive prospect where you’re hoping he’s just not terrible, but there’s a low chance he’s actually good.
Ok, I don't think he's going to be an all defensive team guy, but I think he can still be good.
Not much. If anything, they might be more motivated to underrate a player and make sure they can access his medicals.
BTW, this applies to Castle as well. I do think he is a good defender….but if he gets an all defensive team vote in his career he will join this extremely rare group. There’s probably a strong argument that this group should not exist at all as Booker/Rivers did not deserve their single votes.
Here's another 'moronic' take on Cody Williams. This time by Ben Andersen:
