KAT is an excellent defender playing with Rudy im pretty sure the numbers were great last year too. He never had the verticality to be a 5 in drop coverage which is why he was a bad defender before Rudy got here. He’s quick and willing to defend and picks up way less defensive fouls in this role. Kat might always be a better scorer at 5 than 4, but the difference from being a minus defender to a plus is worth it.
