I did some probing towards Lockheed for my book research at the time. Basic answer was that the F-35 has similar roll-performances as the F-16, and better instentaneous turn-rate. Which seems logical, as it can pull much more AOA. To me it indicates that the F-35 follows in the footsteps of the F-16, having good - if not very good - transient performances in the transonic regime. That is: to execute the shortest possible OODA-loop. And that's really before we start to take into account the sensors and SA.
