Dennis Smith Jr - Defensive Dynamo (Heavy Hands)
Dennis Smith Jr has quietly reinvented himself into a hell of a defensive player. His screen navigation is a sight to behold and his ever active hands create chaos for every matchup that lines up in front of him.
Per Cleaning the Glass, his steal percentage is in the 98% (ahead of just about everyone but names like Marcus Smart, Alex Caruso, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, De’Aaron Fox, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Herb Jones to name a few).
With the way DSJ is able to pluck steals and generate strips, you would think he has a high wingspan but he has an average wingspan relative to his height. Basically what that means is that he uses footwork, timing, and film study to be a defensive pest.
2.4 deflections per game puts him in truly elite company: Jimmy Butler, Jrue Holiday, Evan Mobley, Amen Thompson, Bam Adebayo, Mike Conley, and Giannis Antetokounmpo all tallied less than 2.4.
