83.4% career.
Yeah, not to overreact but I think it goes way beyond a step slow. I found his defense alarmingly bad. Stuck on many picks. Many rotations were very poor. Seemed lost. Not consistently aware of both the ball and his cover. Sometimes got out of athletic position and upright and got beat. Closeouts were consistently bad and some were flat out lazy.
His defensive intensity was below NBA level and way way way below Jazz level.
For a guy with a seemingly high offensive IQ, I don't think he has learned the other side of the game. I'm hoping this was fatigue related as opposed to effort.
Smart guy, I hope he can change a gear here and focus on defensive improvement (unlike others like Kanter and Lyles, who gave lip service to Defense but only cared about their numbers.
Just summer league, small sample size, yadda yadda yadda. I hope I'm wrong but I see potentially large defensive development gaps.
