Not according to certain advanced stats that attempt to take into account the level of competition. Those have him at average, dBPM says .02, which is barely above neutral defensively.  But he has a PER of 22.2 and a BPM of 4.1, they seem to think he can hang with major college level of play.  After a few years of looking at advanced stats, the defensive ones are weaker than offensive, and I strongly doubt how they adjust for level of competition across the board.  But we only have data until we see him in action.  But I can't stress enough that an 18 ppg guy on Siena with a .57 TS% and .326 3pt% is not a guy who you want to build your team around.  He might not even be a starter quality player on a good ACC team.  I'll be happy to have him if he is the 3rd SF/SG, but if he is starting, it means we didn't recruit this portal as well as we should.  There's a reason he was at Siena and not, say, Syracuse, Virginia Tech or UConn.

On the other hand, his actual college performance is highly regarded:
