So, what you're saying is, he should be better on the defensive end than the guys who played the point guard minutes last night. Again, when I say two-way player, I'm just talking about a guy who's going to contribute solid minutes on both ends of the court. Not that high a bar, and apparently one you don't even disagree with, so I'm not sure where the disconnect is here.
