I am comparing him to Kyle. They have similar contributions this year. The difference is Kyle is better at distribution and playmaking. V8 is better at POA defense, rebounding, cutting, and creating extra possessions through energy.
Kyle is way better at team defense and defending strong players.
I agree with the strong players part. Kyle can handle short stints against someone like JV because he can stay in front. Although his lack of size does limit him. I disagree about team defender. V8 and Pat Bev made our defense solid during 2021-22 even when Ant wasn’t there yet, Karl was doing high wall, Dlo was bad, and Jaden was inconsistent and mostly off the bench.
Its not just bigs like JV. Kyle has done an admiral job against guys like Zion and Luka. Both of whom absolutely overpower Vando.
Vando was a defensive neutral in 2021-22.
Opponent:
On Court: .536 eFG, 112.4 ORtg
Off Court: .535 eFG, 112.1 ORtg
Jaden and Vando each played just over 25 MPG. Here is Jaden's defense for comparison:
On Court: .527 eFG, 111.6 ORtg
Off Court: .542 eFG, 112.8 ORtg
