The starting 5 aren't a step slow, they just may not be athletic enough
However they're not breaking down defensively, and Maddox isn't athletic enough himself to play catch-up defense so he's in the same boat. When someone gets by him with a basic fake it's a layup, happened to him a couple times vs Cornell. There have been numerous occasions where he's been out of position on a catch and has no chance of stopping the dribble drive.
Cattoor, Alleyne, and Mutts don't have a problem staying in front of guys. Storm hasn't had a problem with it either but like the other wings he gets shot over by guys who are bigger than them. Aluma's lateral movement is pretty bad and Khadim Sy torched him on the dribble but Maddox isn't taking that spot.
