Yeah, I suspect he will really struggle to defend, even more than Joker does. But nobody expects stand still shooters to defend all that well, and Robbie CAN shoot the lights out, and NBA wing defenders likely won't bother his shot.
Joker has really turned around as a defender. Think he's been underrated as a defender.
I think Avila really helped his entire team's offense efficiency. Being able to shoot and pass and take advantage of post up mismatches is huge as a center.
I will accept that Joker is better as a defender. He is not a GOOD defender as a center, but that's okay, he's got physical limitations ... he's good for the tools he has ... just like Curry is (and he is underrated as a defender too).
Avila was absolutely the centerpiece of his team's offense.
He's got physical limitation sure, but can you build an elite defense around him? I think they have and he does a lot in the defense.
