Is koufos decent at the PnR?

I know he's a good bruiser/defender

I don't really use Synergy much, and I've heard some people say the defensive stats it generates are suspect and you have to watch the video, but here's the Points per Possesion and rank covering the Roll Man in a P&R.

Varejao .74 #15
Asik .66 #23
Ajinca .73 (not enough attempts to rank)
AD .79 #27
Smith .8 #32
Hawes (Philly) .82 #39
Lopez .92 #65
Stiemsma .95 #77
Withey .95 (not enough attempts to rank)
Koufos 1.03 #98
Gortat 1.03 #98

And defending Post Ups

Koufos .59 #11
Asik .75 #16
Withey .69 #33
Ajinca .79 #79
Gortat .81 #102
AD .81 #102
Hawes (Philly) .84 #120
Stiemsma .86 #138
Lopez .91 #178
Varejao .98 #219
Smith 1 #225

If these numbers are legit it says Asik is the only guy that defends both the post and P&R well. Get a stop gap and wait for 2015. Also, hire Patches O'Houlihan to work with Ajinca on his reflexes and body control so he stops fouling so much and can stay on the floor. Ajinca actually has the defense and rebounding numbers to be the guy we want, I just don't know if he's physically capable of not fouling at a high rate.
