As it relates to the defender's displacement, I don't see the relevance of the ball handler falling after he slammed into the defender's torso.

When a defender clearly embellishes contact, it doesn't absolve the ball handler from a PC foul, but it does make it more difficult for us to determine the severity of the contact.
For me, if I can't tell if a player was knocked down or fell due to his own embellishment, I'll probably no-call it.
