To be clear, he could easily be wrong, but I believe that he evaluated this as a factor and came to a different conclusion than what's being stated around here. I don't know what to expect, but I'm somewhat comforted that this was factored into the decision.
Bertans in his career has not been a big negative to his team's D. He generally breaks even.
SD will be the issue on D from my seat because I don't think he is as good a team defender as DB, BUT he at least has a bigger body and decent wingspan (compared to someone like Kemba or JB). So the tools are there if he can be more locked in to his defensive job and rotations.
