No, that seems like a focused and educated eye.

Waiters is clearly trying hard on defense, but he's playing like one could expect of someone who's unexperienced and spent the first decade of his basketball life playing little defense at all, much less an active 2-3.

He's spending a bit of time looking and reaching, he gets caught way out of position at times, and he can be slow to move his feet. They can mask him a little as the up guard, with one of the other three guys defending the high post, but Dion's going to have some rough moments at times. He's a work in progress. If his commitment is really what he says it is, though, he'll become a very good defender with more game experience. He's got good hand-eye coordination; the problem is that his eye often isn't where it should be.
(To answer the first line, though, yeah, his defense is adequate. If Syracuse has designs on a Final Four, though, each of those four guards needs his defense to be exceptional.)
