That holding opponents to a shooting percentage 17% lower than normal is best in the league for anyone defending more than 4 shots per game in that area.
2nd is 13.5% lower.
Gobert is at 9.6% lower, Embiid at 8.9% lower. AD nowhere on this list.

Myles Turner also defends the most shots in that area as well. Gobert and Embiid are 2nd and 3rd, behind by over a full attempt.
So he defends the most shots less than 6 ft from basket and does the best in the league at defending them so far.

As noted below, Myles Turner also has a ridiculous block percentage that would be an all-time record.
Manute Bol has the record at 10.81% in both the 1988-89 and 1986-87 seasons. https://twitter.com/coltondevans/status/1351987448788770817?s=19
