nah larry nance jr led the league in steals at one point, andrew wiggins can block well for a small forward, nerlens noel is in the top 3 in blocks, patrick beverly is patrick beverly, and aaron gordon has a defensive rating of 110

And magic led the league in steals one year with over 3 a game. He still wasn’t a better defender than Moncrief, Robertson, Mj etc…

I love LNJ’s play though. I wish the Lakers kept him.
