He's really just bad at defense. When you watch the difference between between him in Chandler, Chandler steps in cuts off drives fairly early lots of time. Mahinmi doesn't even appear in the picture until the slasher gets to the rim, and by that time he often commits a foul because he was so badly out of position and late to the play. He has way too much wasted motion on defense.
Honestly, I thought halfway through the season that he might just be better off as a 4. The more and more I see, the more convinced I am that he's really far off from getting it defensively to be a center.
And this is just a horrible defensive matchup to depend on him.
