Just my take, but JR Smith proved last year that he's a pretty decent on ball defender. I won't lie, I was surprised how well he kept guys in front of him who were clearly faster/quicker.
His problem doesn't seem imo to be engagement on-ball, so much as off-the-ball, where he has a tendency to lose attentiveness. Not really will, so much as distraction. Not sure he can do much about that short of ritalin. If anyone on the team is ADHD it's JR.
Yeah I agree, he is either ball watching or completely zones out at times on D.
