It basically always gets brought up.
He’s too slow to guard point guards and not strong enough to guard wings. He seriously sucks at on-ball defense and I’m not going to try to blame all of it on the rest of the team, but in an ideal future, he will be surrounded by better defenders and not in a scheme that switches at the smallest semblance of contact. I have more hope that he can be hidden on defense than I do for some of the popular comps he gets (Nash, Trae) just because there’s a solid chance he can eventually be hidden on the worst perimeter player on the court instead of being forced to guard at the point of attack.
Any expectations of contention this year were completely ridiculous.
