I'm not sure why we should discount this piece. This guy writes about the Bucks, has seen the Bucks all year, and lives in Wisconsin. He's a Bucks fan and a sports writer. It's not like he's looking for problems. His team wants Brogdon! He has no reason to misrepresent Brogdon's skills.
And, for the record, Brogdon is a bit heavy-footed.
Defensive metrics are hard to measure. So even if Brogdon is only average on defense, it may be that the a team like the Mavs might consider Beverley a better value and a better fit for this team. Long term Beverley at 3 at 40 may be better (and smarter) than Brogdon at 4 and 80.
Just sayin.
