You don't need long arms to be a good defender. Sure, it helps, but it's not needed for a point guard.
Kyrie is never going to be the best defensive point guard in the NBA, but he does a lot of things very well. He moves better than ever laterally, he harasses passing lanes, and just contests everything lately.
He's been so good, there's no doubt going to be a scouting report of Kyrie's defense, on things guards don't want to do against him.
I notice even when he gets beat by his man, he doesn't just give up, he attacks back, and is contesting dribbles, passing lanes, and just causing a lot of havoc lately.
Before the scouting report was attack him, he flat out blows on that end of the floor.
