I see a bunch of people argue that Middleton is a turnstile defensively and is singlehandedly ruing the defense. What's that based on?

Some facts

Middleton advanced stat defensive ratings: DBPM: 0.2 DWS: 0.6 D Lebron: -0.15

Lillard advanced stat defensive ratings: DBPM: -1.0 DWS: 1.3 D Lebron:-1.23

Trent advanced stat defensive ratings: DBPM: -0.4 DBMP: 0.9 D Lebron: -0.41

Portis advanced state defensive ratings: DBPM: -0.7 DBPM: 1.4 D Lebron: 0.18

So overall, the stats point to Lillard, Trent, and Portis being as much or bigger defensive issues than Middleton. So why is Middleton getting all the blame for it? I definitely don't think Middleton is the same defensively as he was 5 yea
