I like the amount of effort he gives on defense. He’s always up for the challenge and you can tell he’s trying on defense. But the fact that we don’t have a great 1 on 1 wing defender highlights his weaknesses.
Like he’s being asked to lead the offense when Traes on the bench + defend primary offensive players. In the Celtics series he was covering Brown and I don’t think he was doing bad. But that’s a mismatch.

Dejounte was still a good defender I just think to many people were expecting all-defensive team caliber from a guy with a big offensive workload.

He needs to be more disciplined. But no one can fault him for lack of effort.

We need a true POA defender , Alex Caruso , Marcus smart (not him just his type of defense) type guy , instead of Dejounte guarding the best player on the team he could guard the third or so best .. that’s how the spurs used him when he was all defensive team .. kinda our fault making him that when he was never known for it .. no matter if we trade for a star or just get elite depth .. POA defense is a MUST

The reason he was so good on defense on the spurs was because he got to actually play offball which he Excels at while derrick White handled onball, I thought hunter would be that typa of guy to help DJ but he wasn’t.
