Yes, his defensive speed is going to get exposed. So you have to play a smaller, quicker guard next to him, so he can guard the other team's 2 or 3.

With his size he won’t have to close out so far. Smart players can adjust. He doesn’t appear to get sped up. He can vary the speed that he plays with. That’s a good attribute to have.

Remember what Billy did to the quick Notre Dame, and Texas Guards? He punished them
on the offensive end and took them completely out of the game.
If the quick small guards can't stop him on offense they won't stay in the game.

Great observation! Yeah, he has that sense of pace.
