I think there's some validity to that claim, but not completely accurate. He uses his athletic ability in other ways, such as rebounding the ball (5th best rebounding guard pace adjusted in DX's top 100 guards).
The fact that he does a lot of damage in transition speaks to the fact he can use his athletic ability... The open court is where athleticism is most on display right? It's tough to say other than the play where athleticism benefits him the most he doesn't use his athleticism.
Half court is more about skill and execution than athleticism.
I'd like to see what kind of defender he is... they say he flys around on defense. He doesn't get a ton of steals, but steals arent the end all of defensive stats. I'd love to see some measure of how good/bad of a defender he is.
