This is completely out of context though. One of the reasons projection speed sorcerors are "speedy" is because they are using a hax to move as opposed to actually moving on their own accord. Naoya has repeatedly shown to be headstrong and abrasive to the point he fought Maki who literally just slaughtered his whole clan by himself. He equated Yuta's presence to Gojos and did not revoke his lack of confidence when finding out it was him.KingTempest makes more sense to me, this character (Naoya) has been stated to be a speed type, unlike the other character you are trying to scale him from.
If the speed difference isn't that vast, a slower character could very well intimidate and even defeat a faster character.
That's one of the reasons why we don't scale All Might (Mach 66-100) to Number 6 (Mach 168) since the speed difference doesn't make it unwinnable for All Might and there's really nothing N6 can do to him (N6 believes All Might to be a unbeatable God).
Btw, I am not in the camp that the statement alone makes Yuta scale. It is simply direct confirmation from Naoya that he can't do shit to Yuta in a fight. Yuta blatantly scales to sorcerers above Maki pay grade and even non-physical sorcerors such as Kenjaku have reaction speeds in the hypersonic-MHS rating that Yuta would benefit from.
To sit here and even remotely posit that Yuta is struggling with sub hypersonic speeds would require having literally no series context.
