My point is not about his defensive play: Its about his commitment to staying engaged and working for 60 minutes. Thank God he's not a leader, otherwise we'd still be complaining about the effort level of the whole team.

If he didn't give up on plays ALL THE TIME then we wouldn't be having any of these "not defensively responsible" discussions.

You have to understand is that not only is this guy trying to improve his defensive game and he will make mistakes and take a while to look better and then there's also he factor that the player he played with the majority of his career is gone, don't you think he deserves some time to adjust

It's like 10-1...I don't get it.
