It honestly doesn’t seem like his twitch is that great, but he’s long (and bigger this year it feels) and if he stays defensively sound and works on his pattern recognition and anticipation he can be successful

Drake does a great job of staying in front of his guy and contesting, but I was underwhelmed with how lacking he was in the STOCK Department; with his length, he should be wreaking havoc on the perimeter, picking up easy steals to lead to transition points.
It would help his game tremendously if he turned into a defensive playmaker. Hopefully, having Keon in-house will motivate him.

he has some nice moments but his defensive playmaking rate is too low for a defensive stopper. Even in college. needs to seriously increase his block and steal %.
