He's got a lot of bounce on the perimeter for a guy his size, and while he doesn't go for blocks, he knows where to be around the rim on D, besides his rookie year he's always been a plus defender

I'm basing it off of what he is, and what he needs. 91% of his made shots were assisted on last year,he's a guy who needs playmaking guards to set him up to get him in his spots. Due to injuries and youth, he doesn't have that right now, but my point is that even when you feed him with the best playmaking guards in the league, we'll still watch him and expect more.
What has been encouraging though is that he's still locked into defense for the most part, he's a ballerina compared to Nurkic, and still a beast on the boards. I just don't feel like he's the missing piece on any competitive team in the league, and when Portland is ready to take the next step, they'll look at his 18/10 on the season and wonder why he didn't make much of a difference.
