I'm terrible at that advanced stuff. How does Carter grade out in those areas?

Advanced stats (defensive rating and defensive win share) both show Carter Jr. as the best defender on the Duke squad. However, those kind of statistics are hard to trust with such a complete team (all the starters grade out well using advanced stats).
On Michigan State, Jaren Jackson has a superb defensive rating. Given the fact that he's coming off the bench I think it speak very highly of him.
Mikal Bridges is another guy who is killing it in advanced stats. Honestly the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of him if we're drafting 5 or later.
