Just curious whether the defender was the primary defender or if he came from off the ball to attempt to take the charge?
The way you describe it, I think it would be unlikely (but possible) that an off the ball defender "met all the requirements" to obtain legal guarding position, yet was only able to move enough to get 1/4 of the way into the path of the defender. I'm trying to visualize the play, and I'm seeing a defender who isn't able to get two feet on the court and the front of their torso facing the opponent.
As others have pointed out though, it all depends on whether legal guarding position was obtained and maintained. Can't know for sure from the description.
