every team does on switches

he can't straight up guard anyone 1-5, that's absurd and you're being ridiculous.

that said, he's certainly a better overall defender than Mickey. But IMO Mickey was deserving based on the numbers.

At 7’0 240 with a 7’2 wingspan, Cauley-Stein has a freakish combination of size and athleticism that has to be seen to be believed. Imagine if DeAndre Jordan was the best perimeter defender in the NBA and you can see the impact Cauley-Stein has at the NCAA level.

Again nobody is saying he can guard any 1. But he can the ones w/o elite quickness. But you're right and all these other sites are wrong.

Eh, you can't realistically tell me that every center in this conference can come off a switch and not get burned to the basket by a smaller, quicker player. It happens all the time (hence the mismatch in the switch).

It's pretty damn close. He's been one of he best on ball defenders I've seen in a long, long time this year.
