He was as every bit of good as his Pac-12 All-Defense honoree indicated. That’s now always the truth, but this was true for Terry. He projects to defend 1 thru 3 and smaller 4s, at least to begin his NBA career.

Excellent in transition:
Speaking of which, even though it’s at the collegiate level, Terry’s feel for the transition game was through the roof. Whether it was off a miss or a live-ball turnover, Terry was excellent initiating in transition, typically making the right decision on if, when and were to dish the rock.
