if you put any stock in plus/minus stats, he's in the same league as howard and terry. i ain't saying +/- is the end-all, be-all, but it's quantitative evidence that he's a reasonably effective player...
...a 23 year-old reasonable effective player with blazing speed...
if (when) the outside shot really starts falling, he'll be in the same league as parker (hopefully) and deron williams (probably)....a good young point guard that plays defense (unlike bibby) is a nice thing to have. |
Forget Howard and Terry, he's in the same league as Dirk +/- wise. The only players in the league with a higher +/- are Arenas, Nash and Dirk...that's it.
And as somebody has already mentioned i this thread, Bibby is one of the worst defensive PG's while Devin is the best. No way you make that trade and pay him $28MM over the next two years.
