An upgrade over what?

And I have to say that all the talk about Raja as being some sort of defensive monster...I just don't see it. He's undeniably a very agressive and competitive defender, but I'm just wondering, if he's such a good defender, why is it that each of the last three years he's had a negative defensive net +/-?

Don't get me wrong, I think he's probably a nice pickup for the Suns. But it's not because he's any kind of world-beater. It's because he won't be asked to be anything more than the 4th guy in their 2/3 lineup, and that's the role I think he's best suited to play.
