What exactly does dejounte do better than Trae? Hes taller, did not translate to better defense.

He used to be known as a good defender, what happened?

He’s good at using his length getting steals. Never been a good one on one defender. I honestly felt like Trae was the better defender of the two last year.

You’re lucky. It wasn’t fun last year especially after Trae went down.
