I am not saying he shouldn't get heavy minutes against the Spurs of the world, but there will games like last night where he is much less impactful than he has been for most of this year.
I liked this breakdown that I saw

Yeah, he looked a bit off last night, and I think it was San Antonio's length that was responsible.
He's pretty darned good, but he's going to have rough games against teams with big guards that are good defensively.
And though his D is getting better, he's always going to struggle on that end against big guards that are offensive players.
That's what you have to deal with when you're a bit undersized and don't have world class length. Which really makes me think Terry isn't going to make it in this league. He's not as good as Brunson, JET or JJB.
Brunson is getting close to JET / JJB territory. He's a keeper, if we can afford him. But long term, I like him more as a bench guy than a starter, because of his size.
