is he just getting roasted on defense? or is it because when he's off they their best players are also off.

It's because, as has been obvious since 2020, he can't defend guards. He's a fine player who can be serviceable in various roles, but Quin Snyder has set him up to fail by asking him to defend guards.

I mean, when he plays like he was his first few years, he is.

Whether because of ailing knees or dogging it, it looks like he needs to take an extended seat.

Exactly


Royce is clearly playing too many minutes. $9 million for how he played last year was a bargain. He just needs to play with 100% energy 18-20 mpg instead of 80% energy 32mpg.

He's a decent player but not being used correctly

If I remember correctly Royce has been battling tendonitis in his knee(s). If you've ever suffered from tendonitis you know how this could slow you significantly. They need to rest him and play him spot minutes according to matchups if at all. The problem being tendonitis doesn't go away without rest. That should be an adequate enough reason to bench him.
