Why don't you think he is an elite defender?

I will admit he doesn't block shots at an elite rate, but his defensive box plus minus is an amazing 5.5. Going along with a 97 defensive rating those are elite level stats. (Dwight Howard for example had a 1.2 dbpm and 100 defensive rating)

I'm not saying you are wrong, just wondering why you don't think he is an elite defender.
