THE CRUCIFIX: Cato: Wood isn't thrilled w/ his role...Will depart in the summer

[omahen]

I do think that "good defender" by itself is probably not enough -- it's gonna require some sort of ability to also contribute on offense, so it's not easy for an opponent to simply ignore that player on the offensive end and have an extra defender to double Luka or Kyrie with impunity. Especially in playoffs. The in-depth same-opponent game-planning there punishes a team playing a player like that.

I think all of the names provided have some sort of offensive quality.

I would be interested in what objective info we have that says PJ is the wrong guy

I didn't say he is the wrong guy... I said he is not elite defender and provided two sources (one informed opinion and one stat) for that claim. You want more sources either pro or contra, go find them

what criteria we have to make that list reliable

All of the names from my list are considered as good defenders
